An engineering team is deploying an autonomous marine drone to monitor deep-ocean currents and temperature. The drone is subjected to severe wave impacts and constant high-frequency vibration during its weeks-long mission. The onboard computer system must continuously record high-frequency telemetry and sensor data.
