Kauai Source Restart 2021

Abstract

The primary objective of this grant was to restart the electro-acoustic "HX554" source off the island of Kauai. The HX554 was originally cabled to shore, with command and control equipment located within the Pacific Missile Range Facility (PMRF). The shoreside equipment lost contact with the HX554 in roughly 2016 due to an apparent cable break, and was shutdown thereafter. Functionality restoration required (1) assessing that the HX554 was still healthy, (2) repairing the underwater cable, and (3) repairing and rejuvenating shoreside equipment.
