Project will address three main directions:
- decompression sickness (DCS) risk mitigation;
- underwater positioning, tracking, wireless communications and data transfer subsurface and subsurface-surface over great distance;
- manned-unmanned teaming in swarm mode setting (underwater AIS).
The pillars of activities in CUIIS are four-fold:
- Definition of user requirements, use cases and CONOPS development, and Study, Review and Analysis of Comprehensive Underwater Intervention and Information System
- Design of CUIIS System
- Prototyping of CUIIS elements
- Testing, demonstration and evaluation of CUIIS
CUIIS project integrates study, design, prototyping, and testing activities in the domain of:
- Decompression sickness mitigation strategies through the use of “smart” diving equipment
- Underwater Manned-Unmanned teaming
- Smart Hyperbaric Systems
- Diving Electronic Sensors and UUV Control
- Enhanced Underwater Communication and Information System (UWCIS)
- Tactical Command and Control
- Visual user interfaces for Underwater Innervation and Information System
The CUIIS system will be developed incrementally during the period of 3 years. The system will be tested and assessed in:
- a controlled environment enabling testing at any time without pre-requisite authorisations and
- in real conditions in Bulgaria, France, and Italy.
