Underwater Dynamic Classification Technology

Abstract

We performed this concept feasibility study to identify and examine the design features of an effective underwater dynamic classification EMI sensor. This examination included electromagnetic and hydrodynamic analyses to determine a sensor head configuration that will enable effective classification of UXO when operated in a hydrodynamically stable survey mode. Our analyses applied a combination of modeling and test-stand data collection to identify key design features and verify classification performance of an underwater towed system concept.
