摘要: |
The Coast Guard (CG) Research and Development Center (RDC), funded by the Naval Submarine Medical Research Laboratory (NSMRL), evaluated the detectability of the See/Rescue (S-R) streamer distress signal device in scenarios relevant to Navy search and rescue operations using data collected during two sea test exercises with the following technical objectives. 1. Determine lateral range curve (LRC) functions and sweep width (W) values for the visual acumen of Naval P-3 aircrews searching without visual aids (i.e., eyes only) during the day. The crews searched for persons in the water (PIWs) with an S-R streamer, submarine escape and immersion equipment (SEIE) life rafts with an S-R streamer, and SEIE rafts without the S-R streamer. 2. Determine cumulative detection probability (CDP) curves for two search periods/methods: during the day with no visual aids and at night wearing night vision goggles. The search objects were PIWs and SEIE rafts with S-R streamers and SEIE rafts without the S-R streamer. 3. Perform a statistical comparison of the detectability of the PIW and SEIE search objects when equipped with vs. without an S-R streamer. Data collected from the two sea tests were analyzed, and the findings of these analyses are presented. / NOTE:Final rept. |
