 Exciting Advances in Underwater Explosives Search
More than 30 million pounds of bullets, bombs, missiles, mustard gas containers and other unexploded ordnances (UXO) lie submerged in nearshore U.S. coastal waters, a serious environmental and safety hazard. Now a Stevens-built underwater robot may have changed the game in underwater search for UXOs. The Stevens student team created a vehicle that deploys a combination of leading-edge sensors, detectors and video cameras to aid operators on the surface in locating and analyzing UXOs in bodies of water — without endangering the lives of divers or the seaworthiness of vessels.
