OCEANOGRAPHIC SURVEY SUPPORT PLANS IT. INTRODUCTION This document presents the Naval Oceanographic Office (NAVOCEANO) oceanographic survey operations planned through fiscal year 1989. In this context, "oceanographic survey" is defined as the study or exami- nation of conditions in the ocean, including the ocean surface and the ocean bottom. It does not strictly encompass the meteorological or mapping, charting and geodesy (MC&G) disciplines, although shipboard meteorological observations are made routinely, and bathymetric and magnetic measurements are made while the ships are underway. NAVOCEANO has been given operating requirements by the Commander, Naval Oceanography Command (COMNAVOCEANCOM) after validation by the Chief of Naval Operations (CNO OP-952). To meet these requirements, NAVOCEANO conducts oceanographic Surveys using the following survey platforms: Ships - USNS SILAS BENT, USNS KANE, USNS WILKES; Aircraft - Project OUTPOST BIRDSEYE, Project OUTPOST SEASCAN; contract ships; and minesweepers of U. S. and foreign navies. (NAVOCEANO personnel also participate in other at-sea operations aboard various Fleet assets, such as aircraft carriers and ASW patrol aircraft; however, these activities are not included in this plan.) Survey operations, to be cost-effective, are tied to as many require- ments as possible; and data collection programs are designed to meet as many parameter needs as possible. This effort includes utilization of ships across program element lines, whereby geophysical ships devoted primarily to the MC&G program are sometimes used to collect oceanographic
data, and oceanographic ships are used to collect certain MC&G data. As a consequence, data from all platforms are used in multiple product lines for both MC&G and oceanographic requirements. Bathymetric and magnetic data that address MC&G requirements as primary needs are used in oceano- graphic data bases to help satisfy certain validated requirements.
II. ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPORT REQUIREMENTS Fleet and shore command requirements for oceanographic support are submitted through loca? chains of command to the Commander, Naval Oceano- graphy Command in accordance with OPNAVINST 3160.18, "Submission of Oceano- graphic Requirements and Requests for Technical Guidance". The requirements are meraed, prioritized and forwarded to the Chief of Naval Operations (CNO OP-952) for validation and tasking. Appendix A lists the reference documents of validated requirements tasked to NAVOCEANO for action. The oceanographic requirements tasked by COMNAVOCEANCOM to NAVOCEANO are assigned to the Oceano- graphy Program (PE 35112N) and are then grouped according to their primary needs. Responsibility for completion of the scientific requirement or group of requirements is then placed in one of four followina oceanographic Projects: INSHORE, OCEANOGRAPHY and GEOPHYSICS, ACOUSTICS and FLEET APPLICATIONS. To facilitate the technical, administrative and financial audit paths of all requirements, the Projects are further divided into Tasks. Appendix B lists the requirements, their source or sponsor, and the NAVOCEANO Project and Task to which they have been assigned for completion.
III. OCEANOGRAPHY PROGRAM (PE 35112N) NAVOCEANO's oceanography program is organized to respond to the full spectrum of environmental support requirements. Oceanographic support requirements in the coastal regime are addressed by the Inshore Project, which consists of two Tasks. The Mine Warfare Task responds to requirements established by the Commander, Mine Warfare Command; and the Naval Exercise Area Task addresses CNO requirements in nearshore submarine and surface ship exercise areas. Deep water oceanographic requirements are the concern of the Oceanography and Geophysics Project. This Project is composed of three Tasks: Ocean Measurements ‘Program, which provides environmental data in support of the SSBN Security Technology Program; SOSUS Support, which addresses Naval Electronics Systems Command surveillance requirements; and Environmental Descriptions, which supports many Fleet and shore command requirements for physical oceanographic data. The Acoustics Project addresses requirements dealing with underwater and ocean bottom sound transmission, including ambient noise and reverberation. The Prediction Support Task directs its efforts in support of the Navy's Acoustic Performance Prediction program. The ASW/Surveillance Task addresses acoustic requirements to support passive and active surveillance sensors and ASW weapon systems. The Fieet Applications Project engages in direct Fleet exercise support and applies oceanographic and acoustic principles to tactical consideration. The Project consists of three Tasks. Under the Tactical Analysis and Applications Task, NAVOCEANO personnel participate in at least four Fleet exercises each year. The On-Scene Environmental Systems Task is engaged in providing tactical acoustic predictions through the ICAPS and TESS computerized systems. The Fieet Liaison Task provides a dynamic interface between NAVOCEANO and Fleet Commands.
TV. OCEANOGRAPHIC PRODUCTS AND SERVICES Products provided to users in response to requirements tasked to NAVOCEANO range in variety from hardcopy publications and reports to digital computer tapes. Appendix C lists the products and services completed by each Project and Task. V. OCEANOGRAPHIC SHIP SURVEY PLANS Survey plans have been drafted for the oceanographic survey ships and aircraft under NAVOCEANO's technical control. The plans cover the years FY84 through FY89 for AGS ships USNS SILAS BENT, USNS KANE and USNS WILKES, and for the VXN-8 aircraft BIRDSEYE and SEASCAN. These platforms address all the deep water and some of the shallow water support requirements tasked to NAVOCEANO. Shallow water mine warfare survey requirements are accomplished onboard U. S. Navy and foreign navy minesweepers, and contract ships. The ship and aircraft survey plans shown in the following pages are constructed in accordance with NAVOCEANO's Project and Task structure, thus ensuring that all assigned requirements are addressed. The survey areas printed within the hatchered lines are keyed to the survey operating areas shown in Figure 1. The plans include provision for ship maintenance. Upkeep periods are set at an interval of approximately one per quarter. Plans for mid-term overhauls (25 days) and Coast Guard recertification periods (30-45 days) are coordinated with the Military Sealift Command (MSC), which maintains opera- tional control of the ships. Photographs of the three ships are shown in Figure z, and significant facts about their dimensions and capabilities are listed.

VI. OCEANOGRAPHIC AIRCRAFT EMPLOYMENT PLANS Project BIRDSEYE and Project OUTPOST SEASCAN aircraft are assigned to Oceanographic Development Squadron Eight (VXN-8). Operational control of the aircraft is maintained by Commander in Chief, U. S. Atlantic Fleet, with technical control assigned to NAVOCEANO via Commander, Naval Oceano- graphy Command. BIRDSEYE and SEASCAN are long-range aircraft equipped with remote sensor systems for oceanographic measurements. Both aircraft are capable of supporting a variety of environmental requirements and can be used inter- changeably for survey operations. However, space equivalent to that used by the digital BIRDSEYE Airborne Survey System (BASS) is available as additional rack space on SEASCAN. As the BASS system is not required for acoustic surveys, SEASCAN is generally scheduted for these missions, and BIRDSEYE is generally scheduled for other oceanographic surveys. Specific survey assignments for each aircraft are determined on an annual basis. This js necessary because maintenance cycles are based on the number of flight hours each aircraft accumulates. Oceanographic projects are supported from either BIRDSEYE or SEASCAN, depending on the number of flight hours requested versus the number of flight hours remaining before the next mandated maintenance cycle. Figure 3 depicts some of the significant capabilities of the aircraft. Routine airborne surveys are conducted primarily for operational require- ments. A few missions are flown in support of RDT&E requirements. Planned support, including maintenance periods, is shown in detail for FY84; FY85 support is shown in general format (without maintenance period) for each of the major projects. Out-year (FY86-89) support is depicted as flight hours allocated for each of the consolidated requirements. 14
AIR TEMPERATURE-HUMIDITY \ \ RADIATION \ \ THERMOMETER \ \ /1 / INFRARED SCANNER / CARZOGRAPHIC CAMERA PROJECT BIRDSEYE — RP-3A Used for Arctic studies in sea ice prediction and to support Navy Arctic operations, as well as oceanographic and acoustic surveys. The aircraft mounts an airborne radiation thermometer to measure sea surface temperature; an infrared scanner to map sea surface thermal patterns, a helium laser to profile ocean surface waves or ice ridges; expendable telemetering bathythermo- graphs to obtain vertical temperature profiles; meteorological sensors to measure flight-level air temperature, pressure, and dew point; a precision cartographic camera system for aerial pho- tography; and a P-3A ASW acoustic system. An onboard Inertial Navigation System, auto- tracking Loran-A/C, and navigational satellite receivers provide geographic positioning. PROJECT OUTPOST SEASCAN — RP-3A Used primarily for oceanographic and acoustic surveys. This aircraft has essentially the same scientific and navigational equipment listed above. Additionally, an airborne computer system acquires and performs inflight processing of scientific and navigational data. FIGURE 3. Airborne Oceanography 15
