THE OPERATION OF AUTONOMOUS UNDERWATER VEHICLES (AUVS) REPRESENTS A CRITICAL CAPABILITY FOR OCEAN OBSERVATION, BUT THEIR DEPLOYMENT AND RECOVERY REMAINS A PERSONNEL-INTENSIVE OPERATION AND LIMITS THEIR UTILIZATION IN CHALLENGING CONDITIONS. THIS PHASE I SBIR PROPOSAL INTRODUCES AN INNOVATIVE AUTOMATED LAUNCH AND RECOVERY SYSTEM (ALARS) THAT INTEGRATES WITH LONG ENDURANCE, WORK-CLASS UNCREWED SURFACE VEHICLES (USVS) TO ENABLE FULLY REMOTE AUV OPERATIONS. THIS MULTI-DOMAIN UNCREWED SYSTEMS (UXS) RESEARCH COMBINES ADVANCED MANUFACTURING TECHNIQUES, UNCREWED SYSTEMS TECHNOLOGY, CLOUD COMPUTING, AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE. OUR SOLUTION ELIMINATES THE NEED FOR HUMAN PRESENCE DURING LAUNCH AND RECOVERY OPERATIONS, DRAMATICALLY IMPROVING SAFETY AND INCREASING ACCESS, WHILE ENABLING 24/7 OPERATIONS, FOR MORE THAN TWO WEEKS IN DIVERSE WEATHER CONDITIONS. THE PROPOSED SYSTEM DIRECTLY ADDRESSES NOAA'S MISSION REQUIREMENTS FOR MONITORING THE CHANGING OCEAN (9.3), COASTAL RESILIENCE (9.2), WHILE ENABLING SAFER WATER QUALITY MONITORING (9.4), AND IMPROVED RESPONSE TO EXTREME EVENTS (9.1). THE INTEGRATION OF OUR LARS WITH USVS CREATES A FORCE-MULTIPLIER EFFECT, ALLOWING SINGLE, REMOTE OPERATORS TO MANAGE MULTIPLE AUTONOMOUS SYSTEMS SIMULTANEOUSLY THROUGH CLOUD-BASED INTERFACES. THIS CAPABILITY PARTICULARLY BENEFITS COASTAL COMMUNITIES REQUIRING PERSISTENT MONITORING AND RAPID RESPONSE CAPABILITIES DURING EXTREME WEATHER EVENTS.
