The autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) Dorado

NOAA Internal AUV Workshop Agenda

March 9, 2005

NOAA Headquarters SSMC3
4th floor large conference room,
Silver Spring, MD 20910

In collaboration with the NOAA Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) Working Group, the National Ocean Service will host the second NOAA AUV Workshop on March 9, 2005 in Silver Spring, MD. The objective of this workshop is to continue to explore NOAA’s collaborative efforts in the development and implementation of AUV technology. The workshop will once again provide a forum for NOAA line offices to share current AUV project status and future plans. This year AUV manufacturers will also be presenting information on their vehicles, capabilities, and AUV technology developments.

Prior registration is not mandatory for workshop attendees, but those who do not hold a NOAA identification badge should contact auv-workshop@noaa.gov to have their names added to the event access list.

Questions may be directed to auv-workshop@noaa.gov or 301-713-2653 Ext 148 or 153.
