DOE intends to issue a FOA that will support the development of instrumentation, associated processing tools, and integration of instrumentation packages for monitoring the environmental impacts of marine and hydrokinetic technologies. It will also support the development and testing of sensors, instrumentation, or processing techniques to collect physical data on ocean waves (e.g., height, period, directionality, steepness) and characterize the available resources.

It is anticipated that the FOA may include the following Topic Areas:

Topic Area 1 – MHK Environmental Instrumentation Development

Topic Area 2 - Development and Integration of Instrumentation Packages
