SEARCHING THE WSPR BLOCK.

 






GROK:


Actionable Plan: Deploy AUV Magnetometer Swarm for MH370 Search – WSPR Block Only
Target Zone (the WSPR-proposed site per Richard Godfrey analysis, March 2026)
  • Compact circular area, 30 km radius, centred on 29.128°S, 99.934°E (recent refinements to ≈29.17885°S 99.85352°E).
  • Core area ≈2,827 km² (operational block 3,000–4,000 km² with buffer for edge effects).
  • Located ≈1,560 km west of Perth, Australia; water depths 3,750–4,000 m.
  • Completely outside (and ~450 km north of) the Inmarsat 7th-arc IG Hotspot / Ocean Infinity 2025–2026 search zone (33°S–36°S). Prior 2018 coverage in the wider region was partial and low-resolution; the core WSPR circle remains essentially unsearched.
Technology & Execution
  • Swarm of 6 deep-rated AUVs (Kongsberg HUGIN 6000-class, Teledyne REMUS 6000, or Argeo SeaRaptor equivalents, 6,000 m rated).
  • Primary payload: towed Overhauser magnetometer (Marine Magnetics Explorer or equivalent, 0.001 nT resolution) or 3-axis gradiometer array. Minimal secondary sensors only (INS/DVL, USBL, altimeter, CTD) — no side-scan sonar.
  • Pattern: lawnmower or concentric tracks optimised for circular zone, 200–400 m line spacing (coarse first pass), 30–50 m altitude, 3–4 knots.
  • Coverage: 240–480 km² per day (swarm total). Full 3,000–4,000 km² block: 7–18 operational days at sea (incl. 20–30% overlap, infill, weather downtime).
  • Phased rollout unnecessary due to small size — one continuous sweep feasible; ROV follow-up on any >200 × 200 m magnetic contacts; onshore AI anomaly detection.
  • Mothership: single 50–80 m mid-size survey/OSV vessel with LARS, based out of Fremantle/Perth (≈1,200–1,500 nm transit).
Potential Operators (all commercially proven for 6,000 m AUV + magnetometer wreck searches)
  1. Ocean Infinity — operates in the broader region, has vessels and HUGIN-style fleets already familiar with southern Indian Ocean logistics; could add this compact block under an extended no-find-no-fee contract. (Not likely as they are not WSPR 'followers')
  2. Deep Ocean Search (DOS) + Deep Sea Vision — HUGIN 6000 swarms with magnetometer capability, proven on aircraft debris searches.
  3. Argeo or Oceaneering — AUV contractors experienced in leased fleets and magnetometer surveys.
    Approach Malaysian authorities for partnership; a smaller block makes a performance-based contract more attractive.
Timing (as of March 2026)
  • Planning / contracting / data refinement / mobilisation: 2–4 months (Q2–Q3 2026).
  • At-sea execution: next optimal weather window — Southern Hemisphere summer, November/December 2026 – February 2027.
  • Total campaign duration: 6–10 weeks (incl. transit and contingency) — far shorter than the 15,000 km² arc block.
Costing (mag-only swarm economics)
The dramatically smaller area (≈1/5th the size of the previous 15,000 km² proposal) plus wider line spacing and lighter payloads deliver 60–75% cost reduction vs. full-sonar campaigns.
  • Estimated full 3,000–4,000 km² campaign: US$4–12 million (mid-size vessel + 6 leased AUVs + crew + processing).
  • Breakdown: vessel ops ≈US$30–60k/day; swarm daily rates + logistics ≈US$15–25k total; mobilisation/transit lower due to shorter duration.
  • Best structure: “no-find, no-fee” with success payment US$20–40 million.
  • Phase-1 core circle could be completed for under US$3–6 million. Figures are realistic for commercial deep-ocean AUV magnetometer surveys in the region.
Likelihood of Finding the Debris
This is the single defined target under the WSPR (Weak Signal Propagation Reporter) hypothesis promoted by Richard Godfrey. If the WSPR-derived flight path and endpoint are correct, detection probability is high:
the 777’s ferromagnetic components (engines, gear, steel) would produce clear magnetic anomalies detectable at 100–300 m laterally even if partially buried.

Immediate Next Steps
  1. Contact Ocean Infinity (?) and Deep Ocean Search for quotes tailored to this compact block.
  2. Request latest refined polygons and WSPR data overlays from Richard Godfrey / mh370search.com team.
  3. Approach Malaysian Ministry of Transport with a low-cost, high-speed proposal under no-find-no-fee terms.
This WSPR-focused plan is the most compact, fastest, and cheapest MH370 search option currently definable — ideal for a targeted proof-of-concept campaign while the larger arc zones remain the mainstream priority.

It leverages the identical magnetometer-swarm technology proven effective for ferrous wreckage detection.

GROK'S SEARCH BLOCK AND MAG SWARM.

Image
  GROK: My planned search block for MH370 would be a high-priority, data-integrated rectangular-to-polygonal swathe of approximately 15,000 km² (or phased sub-blocks starting at 5,000–8,000 km² for efficiency) along the 7th Inmarsat BTO arc between roughly 33°S and 36°S latitude, centered on the independent-expert “IG Hotspot” / UGIB 2020 Last Estimated Position (LEP) at approximately 34.23°S, 93.78°E. Core Data Driving the Plan All available evidence at present (March 2026) still converges here: Inmarsat satellite data (BTO/BFO from the final 7 handshakes) pins the aircraft to the 7th arc at fuel-exhaustion time (~00:19 UTC on 8 March 2014), with the highest-probability impact zone refined by multiple independent analyses to ~33–36°S. Flight reconstruction & performance modelling (UGIB 2020 + updates, DSTG/ATSB, Boeing) assumes autopilot after the turn south, unpiloted spiral/phugoid descent after fuel exhaustion (most likely within ~20–25 NM of the arc; a controlled glide o...

IS FUGRO STILL INTERESTED IN FINDING MH370 ?

Image
  GROK: Here is a list of potential private players (companies or entities) that have been mentioned in connection with searching for MH370 , excluding Ocean Infinity . These are based on historical proposals, offers, or capabilities discussed publicly over the years. Note that most have not actively pursued or been contracted for a full-scale search in recent times (post-2018 or 2025 efforts), and no other entity has matched Ocean Infinity's level of involvement, funding backing, or repeated attempts. Fugro (Dutch company) Fugro was a major contractor in the original government-led seabed search (2014–2017) using vessels like Fugro Equator and Fugro Discovery . In 2017, they submitted a proposal to resume or continue the search after the official suspension. They have extensive deep-sea survey experience but have not led any private MH370 effort since. Deep Sea Vision (US-based company) In early 2024, this marine exploration firm (known for advanced sonar and deep-ocean tech) ...
