Testing and Evaluation of the Mobile Inspection Package

Abstract

The goal of this contract (N00014-07-C-0722) was to develop a portable system for underwater port security focusing on ship hull scanning. These, and the previous efforts, have been to develop a system guided by US Coast Guard (USCG) requirements, with input from the Navy Explosive Ordnance Disposal Team (EOD) and local law enforcement. The result is a system called the Mobile Inspection Package (MIP), which is capable of surveying ship hulls, seawall, pilings, and seafloors. The MIP can be mounted on numerous platforms such as a USCG vessel, a remotely operated vehicle (ROV), or an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV).
