Research abstract
In this proposed Phase II effort, Texas Research Institute (TRI) Austin, Iowa State University’s (ISU) Center for Nondestructive Evaluation (CNDE), and AVID R&D will transition the successfully demonstrated Phase I technology capable of performing electromagnetic inspections through thick polymer coatings in an underwater environment to an imaging system. The system will be developed through two rounds of prototypes (in the base and option periods respectively), built into a sealed package, and tested immersed in salt water at temperatures of interest to prove out the detection capabilities when performing inspections underwater.
