An Evaluation of the Navy Undersea Weapons Tank for Testing Aircrew Escape, Survival, and Rescue Procedures and Equipment.

Abstract

This report evaluates the Navy Undersea Weapons Tank, White Oak, Maryland to determine its suitability as a test facility to conduct and document research relating to in-water escape, survival, and rescue following an aircraft or helicopter mishap. After consideration of factors such as safety, suitability for experimentation, data recording, and emergency medical care, this facility was shown to be excellent for this type of testing. Much of the photographic documentation shown in this report was accomplished during tests involving underwater parachute entanglement and rescue of live subjects. (Author)
