Description
There is a documented high priority Navy need to substantially reduce Mine Countermeasures (MCM) tactical survey mine hunting and neutralization timelines in support of relevant Operational Plans (OPLANs) and Concept of Operation Plans (CONPLANs). Hence there is also a need to minimize the time and resources required to conduct MCM baseline surveys (and re-surveys) in key Continental United States (CONUS) and Outside Continental United States (OCONUS) Maritime Homeland Security (MHS) and Navy areas of interest (AOIs). Hence the purpose of the innovative autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) based geotechnical survey operations related sensing and processing initiatives proposed here is to investigate advanced (but low-cost) unmanned sensing and processing options addressing this critical Navy/MHS need.
