POSYDON-POINT Project Main Page

The POSYDON Engineering Sea Test 2018 occurs in the Middle Atlantic - New York Bight Region in May 2018. It is a test of both the BBN data collection instruments and the MSEAS software to be used in the upcoming August 2018 Sea Exercise.

This research is sponsored by DARPA.
