摘要
2022 年和 2023 年,美国国防部战俘/失踪人员清点局(DPAA)与海洋成像技术公司(Marine Imaging Technologies)合作,在关岛开展遥感勘测行动,寻找并可能确认四个不同的 B-29 超级堡垒沉船地点。据报告,这些地点所处的环境极具挑战性;公海、急流和强风给勘测小组和设备带来了危险。此外,这些区域的水深变化很大,有突谷、突起和海山,与多岩石的海岸线如出一辙,这对成功的战略勘测和高质量的勘测结果构成了威胁。海洋成像技术公司与 Eastern Search and Survey 合作开发了一种创新的勘测系统,该系统具有灵活性和柔韧性,可用于小船、深水和有限人员的作业。本文讨论了该项目的目标、挑战和结果,并探讨了与 DPAA 合作执行类似任务以查明 MIA 服役人员下落的前进方向。
In Tough Seas: Overcoming Field Challenges Through Innovation and Partnerships With DPAA
In 2022 and 2023, the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) partnered with Marine Imaging Technologies to conduct remote sensing survey operations in Guam to search for and possibly confirm the locations of four separate B-29 Superfortress wreck sites. The reported locations for these sites are in challenging environments; high seas, fast currents, and strong winds pose hazardous conditions for survey teams and equipment. Additionally, the bathymetry of the areas consists of dynamic changes in depths with sudden valleys, rises, and seamounts, mirroring the rocky coastline which poses threats to successful, strategic surveying and quality results. Marine Imaging Technologies worked with Eastern Search and Survey to develop an innovative survey system that allowed flexibility and pliability for small boat, deeper water, and limited crew operations. This paper discusses the goals, challenges, and results of this project and looks at ways forward on similar missions partnering with DPAA to account for MIA service members.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Maritime Archaeology is the first international journal to address all aspects of maritime archaeology, both terrestrial and under water. It encompasses theory, practice and analysis relating to sites, technology, landscape, structure, and issues of heritage management.Journal of Maritime Archaeology provides a conduit for maritime approaches reaching across archaeology and related disciplines such as cultural geography, history, ethnography, oceanography and anthropology. In so doing the journal addresses all aspects of the human past relating to maritime environments.Rated ''A'' in the European Reference Index for the Humanities (ERIH) Journal of Maritime Archaeology is rated ''A'' in the ERHI, a new reference index that aims to help evenly access the scientific quality of Humanities research output. For more information visit http://www.esf.org/research-areas/humanities/activities/research-infrastructures.html Rated ''A'' in the Australian Research Council Humanities and Creative Arts Journal List.
