Abstract
The application of unmanned surface vehicles for autonomous shallow water bathymetric measurements, for naval mine counter-measures and hydrographic charting, and as a navigation assist for high valued ships is discussed. Defence Research & Development Canada has developed a prototype unmanned surface vehicle based on a commerically available catamaran hull-form integrated with a hydrographic quality bathymetric sonar, side-scan sonar, and an echo sounder. The unmanned surface vehicle is also equipped with a WHOI underwater acoustic modem and a 2.4 GHz RF radio to facilitate above and below water communications. The vehicle is also integrated with a mission-planner that has an advanced autonomy framework to facilitate the development and implementation of more complex robotic behaviors towards capabilities for the above-mentioned applications. This autonomous system has undergone validation and testing in the Canadian Arctic and numerous local trials in Halifax Canada. The efficacy of, and lessons learned from, using unmanned surface vehicles for these applications are discussed.

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
