A long-range (order 1,500 kilometers), modular autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) for operation in the Arctic has been developed by a consortium comprised of Scientific Solutions Inc. (SSI), Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI), Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Fuel Cell Technologies Ltd. (FCT). The AUV is instrumented to collect data on the changes that are taking place in the hydrography and ice cover of the Arctic Ocean. To solve both navigation and data retrieval issues, Scientific Solutions has developed an ice penetrating communication buoy and the launcher module for the vehicle. The AUV can carry up to 12 buoys in the launcher section. Prior to launch, data collected by the AUV is transferred to the buoy via an inductive link. After launch, the buoy ascends to the surface, melts its way through the ice and deploys a GPS and ARGOS antenna. The positional information and the data stored in the buoy are then transmitted to a shore station via ARGOS. Here we describe the design of the ice-penetrating communication buoy.
