Geoclutter Target Moorings

Abstract

The Geoclutter target was designed to meet the following specifications: 6 meters in length, 4 air-filled aluminum 6-inch schedule, 10 pipes in a square bundle, sufficient weight to result in approximately 500 pounds wet weight, the ability to orient directionally by dragging, an attachment point for the deployment/recovery mooring penant, and tagline bales at the ends for handling. Attached are an overall dimensioned drawing and two photos of dock testing the target. The target was used successfully in the Geoclutter field experiment for Nick Makris of MIT.
