reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA199797 | Open PDF

Abstract:

As directed by NAVSEA task 86-29, NEDU tested and evaluated three through water diver communication systems, the Safare-Crouzet ERUS-2B4D and ERUS-2A3, Ocean Technology System Aquacom SSB-1000 and Aquacom SSB-1000D, and Orcatron Manufacturing Ltd, Scubaphone. The main area covered were, word intelligibility, diver-to-diver during hull inspections, pier and piling inspections, distance test between the surface units and the diver units, bench checks for maintainability and quality control, and human engineering of systems overall. Keywords Underwater communication.
