CETUS - EOD Robotic Work Package

Abstract

The long-term goal of this project is to demonstrate the capability and usefulness of the Explosive Ordnance Disposal Robotic Work Packages (EODRWP) with the Composite Endoskeletal Testbed Unmanned Underwater Vehicle System (CETUS) platform in detecting, localizing, classifying, and identifying underwater ordnance for Navy EOD missions. The EODRWP/CETUS is intended to support the EOD diver/technician in providing a means of employing a mobile sensor bearing vehicle in the initial search, contact, and evaluation phases of interaction with potentially dangerous targets. This reduces the time required to search and identify all objects in an area of interest; ensures the fidelity and thoroughness of the search; and extends the coverage area.
