Abstract

This University of Rhode Island Mechanical Engineering Capstone project was completed by Megan Hebert, Abby Szumita, Jake Langlois, and Bryson Malaby, and sponsored by Priscilla Kloewer of the Naval Undersea Warfare Center (NUWC). We designed an underwater storage container that is hidden from sonar detection, and capable of housing a device inside of it, such as a data collection device or a torpedo. This device sits at the bottom of the ocean and must deploy the object it houses after one year. Throughout this report, we will show our research, design, process, and information from the lifecycle of progress for this project.
