| Estimated Completion |
Complete |
| Description |
The objective was to perform an
investigation of underwater acoustic imaging techniques for the inspection of structures
and pipelines. |
| Progress |
Complete. This study evaluated an
acoustic imaging system which was designed and fabricated by the Navy, but never tested.
At very low power, this system produced images of structural shapes underwater. The system
was in deteriorated condition. Because of the time and costs required to rebuild it for
testing at the designed power levels other means for imaging in turbid waters are being
sought. |
