PMUWS Acceptance Tests

Abstract

The Pressure Magnetic Underwater System (PMUWS) manufactured by the Dowty Corporation, was tested against the set of requirements listed in the contract used to acquire it. All requirements were met, except for the temperature sensitivity of the pressure channel and the orthogonality of the magnetic axes. It was decided that these requirements could be relaxed while still managing acceptable performance. A more comprehensive and refined set of requirements was developed during this test program for future acquisitions of 3-axis magnetic/pressure underwater instrumentation packages. Test methods and results, along with all requirements old and new, are presented and discussed.
