PREFACE This volume contans collected papers from the 1989 meeting of the Marne Instrumentation Panel (MIP) covering aspets of competitiveness in the marne electronics instrumentation industry. Topics addressed at the meeting had been identified largely at the previous yea's MIP . meeting; presentations were by invitation. The 1989 meeting was convened at Woos Hole, Massachusetts, from September 12-14. A complete agenda as well as the attendance list are given in appendices I and II. As evidence by their absence from this volume, a few papers were regarded as inappropriate for publication by their authors. Deliberations of the Panel are an integral par of our program, Developing a National Marine Electronics Agenda, which aims to develop a prescriptive set of recommendations to help invigorate and strengthen the marne electronics industr. Our interest in this industry stems from the fact that it supplies products to the oceaographic (aquatic) reseach and monitoring community; acts as a conduit through which instrments developed by ocea scientists and engineers are commercialized; and constitutes a significat economic factor in pars of the United States and other nations. Our program is funded through the Offce of NOAA Corps Oprations and organized through the Massachusetts Centers of Excellence Corpration (MCEC). MCEC is a parnership program linking government, academia, and the private setor in joint programs whose vitaity springs from the collaboration. Our program has included parcipation by three academic/reseach institutions: The Oceaic Institute (Hawaii); Florida State University; and the Woos Hole Oceaographic Institution. Parcipation by industry and government comes through the Marne Instrmentation Panel at events such as this conference, and through review of written program products. Papers in these proceeings were compiled and edited by Ms. Krstina Lindborg, who was enlisted specificaly for this task. Ms. Theresa McKee, a Reseach Assistat at the <strong>WHOI</strong> Marne Policy Center provided crucial help in organizing the conference and finalizing the camera ready draft, including editorial work and graphics. 1 Artur Gaines Program Manager Marne Policy Center Woos Hole Oceaographic Institution
ABSTRACT Thirteen short papers address aspets of competitiveness in the marne electronics instrmentation industr. Topics include activity and status of government initiatives in Japan and Europe to promote ths industr; and the possible role of federa-state collaboration in the U.S. Papers address technology transfer between resech institutions and the commercial setor; the role of "strtegic alances" in ths process; and the "dual-use" concept in effective technology development and commercialzation. Other papers address electronic technology applications in speific mare areas, such as the use and implications of the COMSA T mobile satellte communication infrstrcture; electronic chars and saety of taer operations; and instrmentation applications in aquaculture and environmenta monitoring. ii
