Validation of the Distance Visibility Algorithm (DiVA) and the Impact of the Mesoscale Approximation to Mine Warfare Applications

Abstract

The Navy has a long-term need for diver and camera visibility predictions in order to improve mine and expeditionary warfare applications. The goal of this research is to evaluate existing and emerging diver/camera visibility models prior to implementation into fleet operations. This research includes the recommendation of instrumentation and models that can be incorporated into Navy survey and battle groups for prediction and on-scene determination of diver/camera visibility operations.
