lead partner ARMINES
The objectives of this work package are to ensure an efficient and smooth coordination of the scientific and technical activities as well as the overall administration of the project.
lead partner ARMINES
This work package will identify stakeholders in marine science and the offshore economy for deep gliders and their sensor payloads to determine the main features the Deep and UltraDeep gliders should have.
lead partner CSCS
This work package will develop technical standards for the glider hardware, software and information system components to maximize the consistency in the design, manufacture, operation, maintenance and eventual disposal of the deep and ultra-deep gliders.
lead partner ALSEAMAR
This work package aims to develop a family of two robust and hydrodynamically-efficient vehicles capable of performing the missions specified for each of the sectors analyzed in WP2: one Deep version capable to dive down to 2400m, and one UltraDeep version capable to dive down to 5000m.
lead partner NERC
This work package aims to develop smart sensing capabilities for the Deep and UltraDeep Explorer, providing the data required in three pioneer target markets: Living resources, Oil and Gas and Sea-bed mining.
lead partner UPMC
This work packages aims to integrate information from sensor payloads and to develop the platform intelligence needed to perform a variety of missions specified for each of the sectors analyzed in WP2, with different level of autonomy and networking.
lead partner NERC
This work package will test and verify the reliability of the Deep and UltraDeep glider platforms as a whole, as function of its sub-systems, its components, and the operating environment.
lead partner NERC
This WP will execute and evaluate the results of specific sea trials designed to develop and demonstrate the operational capability to bring a glider, with some intelligence, up to 2400 m and 5000 m depth (Deep and UltraDeep platforms, respectively).
lead partner ECORYS
The objectives of this Work Package are (1) to help the communication and dissemination of knowledge generated within this project to the scientific and robotic community, industrial stakeholders, the general public and potential endusers; and (2) to maximise the chances of commercial exploitation of the outcome of BRIDGES.
