UNDERWATER MARKER BUOY DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM

Abstract

Research presented on the Underwater Marker Buoy Development program reviews the work accomplished, hardware delivered, and compares the resultant marker buoy design with the original buoy design. Various materials were investigated and design modifications made based on testing of the engineering models. Five experimental models, 70 marker buoy assemblies, 75 float subassemblies (additional), and 75 CO2 cylinders (additional) were fabricated. Work performed, redesign improvements, and final buoy design are summarized.
