EX2000: EM 304 Sea Acceptance Trials

EX-2000

This cruise will include a series of tests to ensure the condition of the new EM 304 that was installed over the winter repair period. The expedition will commence on March 3, 2020 in
Pascagoula, Mississippi, and conclude on March 8, 2020 in Key West, Florida. Mapping operations will focus on conducting equipment calibration, assessing equipment performance, and transiting to Key West.
All operations will occur within the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ).

    Purpose The EM 304 SAT will include multiple equipment calibration operations and a transit to Key West, FL that will occur mostly in deep (>200 m) U.S. federal waters in the Gulf of Mexico. Equipment calibration will include (but is not limited to) a GNSS Azimuth Measurement System (GAMS) test, a Patch test, a speed noise test, and a reference survey (see Appendix A for more information about each test). This cruise will provide critical DAS for troubleshooting the software for the newly installed system, with two Kongsberg engineers aboard. It will be critical to maximize the use of Kongsberg Engineers to ensure the system is fully optimized and ready for the upcoming field season.
