Technologies designed to better monitor and detect underwater conditions — for the purpose of national security, science or commerce — is progressing at breakneck speed, as evidence of the content of this edition. Familiar drivers for better perform- ance, the government and military, are ramping up spending on products and systems designed discover and mitigate underwater threats, whether is be mines in foreign waters or terrorist intrud- ers on U.S. shores. Naval Sea Systems Command Warfare Center Keyport division earlier this summer hosted the sixth annual Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) Fest, to demonstrate AUV systems emerging from the Future Naval Capabilities program. A review of some of the systems put to the test starts on page 22. A report on port security, specifically the Coast Guard’s new Underwater Port Security System, starts on page 37.
