Marine Science + Technology
Oceans cover much of the Earth's surface, but they remain largely unexplored. SRI conducts R&D and provides services to improve the health and security of the marine environment for maritime industry and government clients, such as the Naval Air Systems Command.
Marine Science and Technology
To understand and protect ocean ecosystems, researchers in the Marine Technology Program at SRI St. Petersburg study surface and subsurface marine environments. Capabilities include:
-
Acoustics
-
MEMS and nanotechnology
-
Underwater mass spectrometry
-
Designing, testing, prototyping, and deploying oceanographic sensors
Port Security and Maritime Domain Awareness
SRI directs the Center for Maritime and Port Security in Tampa Bay, Florida, which provides technologies and programs to defend the nation’s waterways from terrorist attacks. Services include:
-
Maritime domain awareness and advanced situational awareness
-
Risk/gap analysis
-
Access and security assessments
-
Supply chain integrity
-
Environmental information, including observations and predictive models of ocean environmental conditions
-
Sensor data integration
