Presentation Overview About SURVICE Engineering Maritime need for real-time hydrography How does ARGUS work? Results ARGUS in the news Implementing an ARGUS Trusted Partner Network

About SURVICE ARGUS was developed by the SURVICE Engineering Company to address NOAA s mission needs for real time hydrographic surveying. SmartCEO Magazine Voltage Award for Technology Innovation SURVICE is an 30+ year old engineering consulting firm with over 350 employees with a broad spectrum of technical expertise in engineering, physics, mathematics, chemistry, and computer science supporting a wide-range of government and industry clientele. With decades of experience in research and development, and specialized design engineering applications, SURVICE has developed a number of high tech solutions for it s customers.

Maritime Need for Real-Time Hydrography Athos I, 2004 U.S. coastal waters have never been completely surveyed. In areas that have been surveyed, approximately 50% of soundings shown on NOAA nautical charts is based on pre-1940 data, collected by lead line soundings and wire drags. Vessel groundings have financial impacts, but also impact the environment, and in some cases lives. Accurate and real-time charts are essential to shipping. USS Guardian, 2013

How Does ARGUS Work? Onboard ARGUS unit plugs into vessel chartplotter (or ECS and echosounder) Autonomously records GPS position, water depth, water temperature Automatically offloads using secure extended-range marine WiFi, cellular, satellite User Control over how data is used No crew interaction required -------------------------------- Completely autonomous recording and reporting of data Continuous bathymetry updates result from routine vessel activity

Opportunity for Better Hydro Data ARGUS is a self-enabling technology for the maritime industry Millions of commercial and recreational vessels operate in U.S. coastal and inland waterways Every vessel can provide valuable situational awareness for all of the vessels that follow it Participation improves the quality of the results as well as lowers the per vessel processing costs High resolution surveying can be better prioritized and directed

How Good is the Data? US Hydro 2013 Maxim van Norden, the University of Southern Mississippi Paul Cooper, CARIS USA John Hersey, the SURVICE Engineering Company CSB provides IHO Order 2 (and approaches Order 1b) quality for soundings. THU Typical GPS receiver has a positioning uncertainty of ±10 m at 95% confidence. TVU Multiple observations in the same locale provide reliable TVU under 1 m. Report Conclusions CSB is providing new information for remote waterways that have not (or not recently) been surveyed, as well as providing continuous, ongoing monitoring for highly travelled areas. At a fraction of traditional hydrographic surveying costs, CSB has the potential to contribute to improved safety and limited environmental risk. Combined with a constant supply of data from an unlimited crowdsourcing workforce, the steady improvement of sensing system capabilities, the evolving ARGUS CS-BDB solution sets will continuously approach <higher> IHO standards.

In the News the only system that gathers data autonomously and with scientific controls PassageMaker, January 2012 one of the more interesting and valuable uses of social media that has evolved over the last few years Marine News, December 2011 the boating masses will change the way nautical knowledge is gathered and shared. No one on the water needs to be told about the GPS revolution of the past decade, but the most dramatic change has just begun. Motor Boating, April 2011 a system that may change the way depth and other data is gathered and distributed. Yachting, December 2009

Implementing a Trusted Partner Network Install ARGUS units on sufficient number of vessels that regularly transit area Includes extended range WiFi hardware Supports multiple sensor input channels Works with virtually all navigation systems/chart plotters Trusted Partner vessels are identified and surveyed such that GPS location and depth sensors are well known/established Known offsets help produce higher-quality data Additional vessels (commercial, government, and private) that have ARGUS units can add to data volume and quality
