Abstract :
This paper compares the vision created in 1998 of the predicted future of Naval Oceanographic Office surveys in 2010 with the actual implementations of the technology in 2010. This paper explores several technology areas (communication, autonomous vehicles, airborne oceanography, hydrography/bathymetry, physical oceanography, and acoustics) examined while envisioning the future of Navy ocean surveys in 1998 and compares the predictions to the realities of today.
