Abstract
This paper reports on the integration and evaluation of a Tritech Micron mechanical scanning sonar into a Slocum underwater glider. The intend is to use the Slocum glider with the scanning sonar, to conduct seafloor and iceberg mapping tasks. The mechanical scanning sonar is installed in the extended, free flooded area of nose of the glider. After the successful integration, initial field trials were conducted in order to evaluate the performance in both seafloor surveying, and iceberg mapping modes. To achieve optimal performance, tuning of sonar parameters and vehicle trajectory control becomes significant. The performance of the vehicle and sonar are investigated in the field. Due to the transmission power absorbed by the extended nose cone, backscatter intensity is reduced, and receiver gain had to be increased, when compared to uncovered operations. With the experience gained from the initial field trial, areal surveys and autonomous iceberg mapping missions will be conducted in the future.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
