Underwater Ship Hull

Inspection System

With concerns of security, the in-water inspection process performed by a

SonicWorks Inspection system com- bines the company's proprietary APNS precision positioning and robotic control system with SonicWorks' patented "Motion Compensation System" to pro- vide a vehicle equipped with hull con- touring technology that will produce a full hull (100% in water) in a matter of hours. A surface crew of three with one diver on-call will operate the system allowing true robotic hull contouring and inspections. The SonicWorks'

Inspection System yields data that will aid significantly in the inspection for and detection of ordinance and contra- band.
