Our facility (is a volcanic fresh water lake) has 24/7/365 a level of background underwater noise -20db below Wenz at sea state zero, mainly in the shipping's frequencies (<1KHz). For dual use AUV's development/validation is the perfect location to undertake radiated noise threshold requirements mainly for modular AUV'. In the coming months a multibeam, sub-bottom profiler survey will be undertaken in order to gain the georeferenced 3D of the complete volcanic caldera.
