Optimization and Evaluation of a Fluorescence Oil Spill Detector. Volume 2. Prototype Design.

Abstract

This report reviews the operational and technical requirements of a low cost harbor surveillance unit and describes the design of a Scanning Oil Spill Detector. Operational considerations such as coverage resulted in a design containing both azimuth and elevation scanning. The incremental cost of scanning is less than the cost of additional units needed to provide the additional coverage.
