AI summary

This tender concerns the acquisition of autonomous profiling floats equipped with hydrophones and embedded algorithms for seismic-acoustic event detection in the ocean, along with integrated oceanographic sensors, consumables, and associated services. The floats will operate autonomously at depths up to 6,000 metres for several years, conducting volcano-acoustic and environmental monitoring of ocean basins for the Géoazur research unit.

Fit for

Companies specializing in marine instrumentation, autonomous underwater systems, oceanographic sensor technology, or marine research equipment manufacturers capable of delivering deep-ocean profiling floats with integrated multi-parameter sensing.

Key requirements

Suppliers must provide autonomous profiling floats with hydrophone systems and onboard detection algorithms, supplementary sensors (temperature, sound velocity, salinity, dissolved iron, pH, redox potential, high-frequency hydrophone), technical documentation, and support services. Floats must operate independently without ship intervention at extreme depths.

La présente consultation a pour objet l’acquisition de flotteurs-profileurs autonomes pour la sismo-acoustique dans l'océan, ainsi que de capteurs pour l'océanographie intégrés avec les flotteurs, de fournitures et de services associés. Chaque flotteur sera équipé d'un hydrophone et d'un algorithme embarqué pour la détection autonome des évènements sismo-acoustiques. Les flotteurs fonctionneront de manière autonome (sans intervention de navire) sur des périodes de plusieurs années et à des profondeurs allant jusqu’à 6000 mètres selon la version choisie. Les flotteurs seront équipés avec des capteurs supplémentaires (capteurs de température, célérité, salinité, fer dissous, pH, potentiel rédox, hydrophone haute fréquence) qui seront contrôlés par le flotteur. Les flotteurs sont destinés à l'UMR Géoazur. Ils seront utilisés dans le cadre de différents projets et en particulier de l'ERC SYNERGY "HARVEST".
