Port Everglades Shallow Water Range As-Built Documentation.
Abstract
The Chesapeake Div., Naval Facilities Engineering Command (CHESNAVFACENGCOM) was tasked to construct an array of sensors at the Naval Surface Weapons Center (NSWC) Facility, Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. This installation is a part of the Linear Chair Program. CHESNAVFACENGCOM's responsibilities included the design, procurement, and installation of all system hardware except sensors and associated electronics. This Command, with major participation by Civil Engineering Lab., designed and procured pressure vessels for housing the in-water sensors and electronics. foundations for mounting and aligning same, interconnecting cable. shore cable, and the shore facility for housing electronic equipment. This as-built documentation describes the installed hardware and the construction hardware for the underwater portion of the system that was developed to meet the sponsor's specifications. The range comprises some 26 sensors that are installed in precise positions along parallel lines 20 feet apart; these lines run east and west relative to the magnetic lines of force in the range area. The range is centered approximately 1.1 nautical miles offshore of the Florida coastline. The shore cables run from the construction site north to the NSWC jetty facility at Ft. Lauderdale where they terminate in a data van. As presently installed, the range consists of two major sections: a near field range and an intermediate field range.
