^- It's MIW Rapid Assessment Capability
^and the intent of it is for being able
^to have a quick, deployable expeditionary
search capability for the surf zone to very shallow water,
which is zero to 40 feet.
We're essentially identifying potential hazard areas.
^- The mRAC, which was a TechSolutions request
^directly from the fleet, which will help sailors
and Marines that are approaching a beachfront
to rapidly clear or determine, at least,
the location of mines that might be in their way.
So, saving lives, essentially.
- We have the UAV here.
It's a three-axis passive magnetometer
and here are the cables are going into our CPU board,
which is essentially taking all of the data
that we're pulling from the UAV,
essentially transmitting down to the operator in real time.
Everybody wants to know where they're going,
and what they're about to get into,
and to be able to have a rapid ability
to be able to throw something up in the air
and survey an area before you either
put troops on the ground or bring a boat into shore,
and, for this technology in particular,
working hand-in-hand with the DOD folks
to be able to have a more informed
situational awareness picture to how does this data
actually get used in theater, in training,
and how can we take that to the next level?
- So, TechSolutions is the way that
we answer the warfighters' needs today.
It's really based on the sailor on the deck plate
or the Marine on the front line
and what they need to make their job
more efficient, safer, easier.
- ONR TechSolutions was essential
to being able to make this program happen.
- TechSolutions is a way to rapidly get things to the fleet,
to immediately make a difference
in the sailor or Marine's life.
