Hardware Development for Project Quick Find, the Sea Lion Object Recovery System

Abstract

The hardware program for Project Quick find involved the development of a variety of training devices, grabber recovery units, and other related hardware. This report describes the development, test, and evaluation of a sea lion nose-carried grabber device used to effect the recovery of bottom-sitting test ordnance. The primary grabber developed was deployed by a sea lion against a Fleet-fired ASROC missile and was instrumental in its recovery, unassisted by diver personnel.
