Enhancement of the United States Naval Academy (USNA) Polar Science Program (PSP)

Abstract

Long-term goals: The United States Naval Academy's Polar Science Program is introducing future Naval Officers to the Arctic environment through project based learning and field experiments. Introducing them to the challenges that the harsh polar environments pose, will help better prepare them for possibly operating there one day as Navy and Marine Corps Officers. Objectives: The USNA PSP continues to spearhead undergraduate engineering and science projects to develop low cost, low power Arctic Observing Platforms. The culmination of the design, build, test and deployment process is a annual field experiment, the Naval Academy Ice Experiment (NAICEX), out of Barrow, AK.
