Submersible Packaging Techniques
Abstract
Certain military operations require that sophisticated electronics, designed as ground infantry electronics, be used and transported underwater. Previously, this involved using special transport cases or submersion bags. The alternative has been to design special equipments for use by the relatively limited community that operates in this environment. Transportation bags have proved unreliable and susceptible to damage; and transportation cases are bulky, heavy, and often are difficult to handle during a mission. Transportation bags and cases also inhibit using the equipment during the mission-mobility phase. Special equipment designs are especially expensive to implement, because the application community is too small to reasonably amortize the nonrecurring engineering costs. This document describes packaging techniques that would allow sophisticated electronics to be used and transported reliably underwater. Keywords: Packaging techniques; Electrical and electronic techniques; Waterproof packaging.
