Description
This SBIR Phase II project will develop a laboratory benchtop demonstration system for non-contact optical hull contaminant detection and classification. The Phase I research identified optical signatures that can be exploited to both detect and differentiate the materials of interest. We will use that technical approach to build a prototype benchtop detection system and test it with samples that simulate what would be found in a shipyard. The experiments will determine the operating capabilities of the system and lead to a recommended design to be pursued in a Phase III program. Under the Phase II option program we will adapt the laboratory system for field use to make preliminary measurements under shipyard conditions.
