Regional-scale cabled ocean observatories will enable long term measurements and interactive experiments over geographically-extended areas covering time scales ranging from microseconds to decades. In order to provide this new observing capability, a level of infrastructure functionality and reliability that is unprecedented in the ocean sciences must be provided. The key subsystems for a regional-scale cabled observatory include communications and power systems which operate seamlessly from users to shore stations to scientific instruments, a high accuracy, low latency time distribution system, an end-to-end data management and archive system, an observatory command and control system, and the physical underwater infrastructure(cable plus underwater junction boxes). The engineering for these subsytems must be tied together through system engineering and project management structures that ensure mutual compatibility while meeting schedule and budgetary constraints. This paper will describe the NEPTUNE experience and future plans in all of these areas.
