Lessons Learned
• Get “Operations” involved early: Design for Operations...however, x-fer funding usually not included.
• Clear understanding of data “Quality vs Cost”• Discipline of Integration: making wise choices• Spin-offs are valuable developments• Additional tool, not a ‘silver bullet’• Partnerships required

Summary:•A multidiscipline, easy-to-deploy platform has been developed that incorporates O&M concerns
•Sensors have been successfully adapted on that can enhance 4D datasets.
•O&M costs are lower compared to using large ships and traditional methods, especially in ‘remote’ areas.
