Descripción del proyecto
Los drones se zambullen en el océano para la investigación y la innovación
La economía azul es un sector económico esencial y una fuente de empleos para la Unión Europea. Dado que la investigación es cada vez más importante para la economía azul y la ecología marina, la importancia de los drones submarinos y terrestres se ha incrementado: pueden llevar cargas de equipos científicos para la mayoría de las observaciones medioambientales, incluso por debajo de los 6 000 metros. También son ágiles, duraderos y rentables. Lamentablemente, en función de las operaciones, necesitan una infraestructura que sea capaz de satisfacer un considerable número de diferentes criterios. El proyecto GROOM II, financiado con fondos europeos, se basará en trabajos previos para combatir dichos problemas y mejorar la infraestructura. Definirá la organización general de la infraestructura para centrarse en la innovación y la investigación oceánicas.
Objetivo
Underwater and surface drones, in particular gliders, have become essential vehicles to carry scientific payloads for most environmental observations from the surface down to 6000m and for activities supporting the blue economy. Their major advantages are being mobile, steerable, persistent and usable in large numbers and at relatively low costs. However, the distributed infrastructure required to exploit these assets must be able to meet different demands from research and monitoring of the marine environment, to public service missions and industry needs, requiring customised payloads and operations. The rapid evolution of such technologies (robotics, artificial intelligence, sensors, big data) requires that the R&D resources offered by this distributed infrastructure continuously adapt to users’ demands.
The complex hardware and information technology characteristics of such a distributed European infrastructure, optimizing access to resources and R & D for gliders, were analysed during the GROOM-FP7 design study from the perspective of research and the Global and (future) European Ocean Observing System (GOOS & EOOS) needs. Since then, several “gliderports” have developed which has fostered a corresponding European industrial innovative sector.
GROOM II, building on its predecessor, will deliver the decision basis for an advanced MRI that promotes scientific excellence, fosters innovation, support the blue economy, builds industrial and public partnerships, and works towards helping achieve the common research and innovation mission for future Europe. The project will define the overall organization of an infrastructure dedicated to ocean research and innovation, and maritime services supporting Blue Growth. This infrastructure will be a positive step against today’s fragmented European landscape, aiding connections and synergies for the completion of GOOS and EOOS.
