Remote Automatic Multipurpose Station.

Authors: B. M. Buck; GENERAL MOTORS CORP SANTA BARBARA CALIF DELCO ELECTRONICS DIV
Abstract:
After two decades of broad spectrum scientific research by the U.S. in the Arctic Ocean and peripheral seas, the need for remote automatic stations to collect data has become obvious. The problem is to develop an unmanned station that can be: easily deployed; collect satisfactory data without human presence; reasonably inexpensive; have a useful life; and be adaptable to a wide variety of input sensors. A study was conducted to determine the best approach to the system which was called LORAMS (Long Range Automatic Measuring Station). The basic concept was derived employed a HF telemetry link, a digital recirculating memory to store data during polar HF blackouts, and a power supply. The design goals were for one year unattended life and a 1000 n. mile effective range.
