Abstract
An underwater sensing system includes a cable structure, a water surface mount coupled to the cable structure, and a processor. The cable structure is configured to be deployed in a vertical orientation underwater and includes one or more sensors along a length of the cable structure. The one or more sensors are configured to detect maritime data associated with one or more marine-based parameters in an underwater maritime region around the cable structure. The water surface mount is configured to be at least partially exposed above a surface of the underwater maritime region and includes a transmitter configured to transmit the maritime data. The processor is configured to access a maritime model comprising parameters associated with the maritime region and update the maritime model based on the maritime data. The maritime model can be used as an input, or otherwise made accessible, to a navigation system of an underwater vehicle.
