The SURVICE Metrology Division was established to support our core business, providing precision measurement services required for survivability modeling.
The Applied Technology Operation (ATO) is focused on the development of custom applications involving 3D measurement solutions.
ARGUS is a custom solution developed in response to a NOAA RFP.

History
• NOAA research grant 2008-2009– Dredged channel depth monitoring– Demonstrated breadboard hardware, piecewise processing to
achieve Order 2 accuracy
• Navy (SPAWAR) research grant 2009-2010– Optimal seafloor mapping technologies– Developed autonomous UUV integration approach for Teledyne
Benthos C3D • Optimized sensor suite• ARGUS as integration platform and processing baseline• Application of high performance computing to path planning and
onboard data processing
• SURVICE IR&D funding 2010– Deployed 10 ARGUS beta units using local Sea Tow and private
vessels

Data Acquisition Approach
• ARGUS records NMEA chartplotter output• Routine vessel activity provides depth and location
measurements at COTS chartplotter accuracy

“Like it or not, they’re going to build these ships bigger and bigger. It’s like squeezing ten pounds of ship into a five pound channel.
Capt. Andrew McGovern,Sandy Hook PilotHSRP 2007
We’ve got to get better systems in place to do this safely. That’s my job, and I can’t do it without the technology that’s out there.
The problem is we’re not getting the funding to get this thing going. We’re not getting the charting, not getting the observation systems, and it’s because it’s not coming out of NOAA.
We want the ounce of prevention instead of the pound of cure, and we’re not getting that.”

Athos I, Delaware River, 2004
265,000 gallons of oil into the Delaware River
115 miles of shoreline affected
The Athos I collided with three uncharted and undetected submerged obstructions in the channel and anchorage.
The Athos I incident alone has cost the ship owner and his insurer over $165 million.
The true value of wildlife lost and port commerce delayed or deferred cannot be calculated.

How many vessels passed over these before the Athos I did?
What one vessel passes over, without knowing, or caring for that matter, will potentially be of significance to any vessel with a deeper draft.

Recommendation 1:
The HSRP recommends that NOAA aggressively survey and map the 500,000 square nautical miles (SNM) of navigationally significant areas and 95,000 miles of shoreline by:
• Expanding NOAA’s in-house and contract survey capabilities to acquire and process more hydrographic and shoreline mapping data;
• Developing and implementing more efficient surveying, mapping, and processing techniques and technologies; and
• Replacing aging single-purpose hydrographic ships with modern, multi-purpose vessels to further maximize the use and reach of NOAA resources.

“At the current pace, it is expected to take NOAA 166 years to survey the 500,000 square nautical miles (SNM) of navigationally significant waters using in-house and contract surveying vessels.”
ARGUS is not intended to replace, but rather to supplement multibeam surveys.
ARGUS sets priorities for directing multibeam resources to where higher resolution is most required.
“The marine community is encouraged to submit information to NOAA to assist in prioritizing the Nation's hydrographic survey needs.”

Finding 2:Federal agencies must accelerate efforts to integrate data in order to conserve resources, minimize duplication and inconsistency, and maximize taxpayer investments.

As the consumer market for marine electronics, GPS navigation systems, and chart plotters explodes, boaters presume that the data they can zoom in and out on is as accurate as the GPS systems in their cars.
The information could be years, even decades out of date.
Collisions account for 80% of recreational boating accidents – 100,000 claims, $450 million in losses.
A major cause of claims is “striking a submerged object” and groundings.
Recommendation 5:The HSRP recommends that NOAA expand efforts to deliver its navigation products and services more quickly, and increase outreach to make navigation and non-navigation users more aware of the NOAA mapping and data resources available to them.
