We are working to ensure that the U.S. Academic Research Fleet has a clear plan to upgrade its cybersecurity and telecommunications, supporting the vital scientific missions of these oceanographic vessels while protecting data and personnel. This legislation aims to assess needs, costs, and timelines to improve network capabilities and security for safer, more effective research at sea.
