The Underwater Imaging System (UIS) is a fully integrated 3-D sonar system for specialized underwater applications such as maritime security, port and harbor maintenance, search and recovery, and intruder visualization and classification. The system also can be used to rapidly assess storm damage, locate sunken debris and provide baseline maps of critical infrastructure. It delivers precise Global Positioning System-referenced underwater scans in real time and can be used for inspections of harbor walls, bulkheads, piers, bridges, pilings and ship hulls. The system also can be used to inspect and clear shipping channels and to image and classify underwater objects.
The Coast Guard Research and Development Center uses a two-person team—one to operate the system, the other to record data. The UIS is attached to a vessel’s hull and lowered on a pole. It also can be raised, pivoted or canted at specific angles as necessary.
The system recently was deployed when a Coast Guard helicopter crashed near the Mobile, Alabama, shore. The flight originated from the Coast Guard Aviation Training Center in Mobile and crashed into Mobile Bay about three miles southwest of Point Clear. Service officials determined that underwater visibility was too poor for divers to locate the four lost crew members. The UIS was deployed to aid in the search, and ultimately all four bodies were recovered. “The UIS has been a major contributor in the search for lost souls, as well as to map the underwater debris field—in part because the turbidity of the water is so bad that divers can’t see,” explains Jack McCready, branch chief for the Coast Guard Research and Development Center’s Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) branch.
