Testing and Evaluation of the Mobile Inspection Package

Abstract

The goal of this contract (N00014-07-C-0722) is to develop a portable system for underwater port security focusing on ship hull scanning. This, and previous efforts, have been to develop a system that meets the requirements of the Coast Guard, the Navy Explosive Ordnance Disposal Team (EOD) and local law enforcement. The result is a Mobile Inspection Package (MIP), capable of surveying ship hulls, seawall, pilings, and seafloors. The MIP can be mounted on numerous platforms such as a Coast guard vessel, a Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV), or an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV). Previous versions of the MIP have been extensively validated in real-world conditions, and under operational constraints, in collaboration with the US Coast Guard (e.g., Super Bowl XXXIX with the Coast Guard and the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office)
