Past Projects

Field Investigations

Adaptable Launch and Recovery

The MHL subcontracted with Michigan Aerospace Corp to design, test and transition to production a reliable and cost-effective universal unmanned watercraft launch and recovery system for use on Navy surface combat ships. The MHL aided in refining the conceptual design, fabricated the prototype, conducted stability testing in the physical modeling basin and conducted at-sea trial on board the Research Vessel R/V Laurentian.

NAVAIR - Environmental Monitoring for POS SKB Year 1

Deployment of a coastal monitoring buoy in the Gulf of Mexico off the Florida Keys for environmental monitoring of oceanographic and meteorological conditions during sea trials.

ONR-MURI Development of the Directional Wave Spectra Buoy

Okey Nwogu and the MHL designed and built three directional wave buoy sensors for use in a MURI project investigating optimum vessel performance in evolving wave fields. The buoys were successfully deployed and retrieved from the Gulf of Alaska off Kodiak Island.
