1. TEAM 6: JAWSS TEAM 6: JAWSS A Design Project Presentation Team 6 members: Louise McGowan Ken Millard Daniel Rice Kevin Pearce Joint-service Active Watch Surveillance Submersible “JAWSS HAS BITE”

2. OVERVIEW What is JAWSS? Features of the Design Testing, Trials & Tribulations Future Improvements Budget Closing Remarks Questions

3. What is JAWSS?

4. Current Sub JAWSS 2: Highly Visible Hull Sturdy Aluminum Frame Remote Operation Colour Video Four Thrusters Water Resistant

5. Comparison to Objectives CRITERIADESIREDACHEIVED Horizontal Speed1 knot~0.3 knot Vertical Speed0.1 knot~0.16 knot Turning Radius3ft DOF34 Depth10ft19ft Weight30 lbs13.8 lbs Visibility2ft>5ft Water IntegrityYes~Yes StabilityYes

6. Tow Tank Tests Water Integrity Buoyancy Drag More Water Integrity Camera Maneuverability Inspection

7. Tow Tank Results - Good Found True Drag Verified Required Ballast Controls and Camera Work Passed Inspection Leak Light Works!

8. Tow Tank Results - Bad Gaskets Thrusters End Cap Seal Tether Connectors Dome!

9. Tow Tank Solutions Modified Horizontal Thrusters Sealed End Cap and Thrusters Achieved Desired Buoyancy New Tether Connectors Replaced Dome – New Seal

10. HMCS ATHABASKAN Test

11. HMCS ATHABASKAN Results - Good Proved Test Depth of 10 ft Conducted Hull Inspection All Warning Lights Work Confirmed Visibility in Harbour Water

12. HMCS ATHABASKAN Results - Bad 19ft failure (2 x design) Water on the inside Team 6 mourns their loss

13. HMCS ATHABASKAN Solutions JAWSS 2: Externally Mounted Thrusters Epoxyed Previous Mounting Holes Cleaned Electronics

14. DalPlex Test

15. DalPlex Results - Good It’s Alive!!! Proved Concept Ease of Use Maneuverability Tests Speed Tests

16. DalPlex Results - Bad Still Small Leak – Bad Data Plug Thrusters Not Enclosed Tether Impedes Motion

17. Lessons Learned DOME: Machining acrylic creates micro- fractures  purchase a dome that requires no machining/modification. PACKAGING: Some packaging does not clearly indicated all properties of a marine sealant  find larger contained and read all warnings. http://www.sikaindustry.com/

18. Lessons Learned SHIPPING: Just because you pay for overnight delivery does not mean you’ll get overnight delivery  Use pack mules. SEALS: Using machine bolts in PVC does not allow enough force to compress gasket  Use alternative seals http://www.exzooberance.com/

19. If We Had to Do It Again… Next generation electronics External thrusters Improved seals Hull clamped to frame Neutrally buoyant tether Bigger motors
