WEBVTT 00:13.880 --> 00:15.950 Hi , I'm Shelly Tingle with the U S 00:15.950 --> 00:18.117 Army Engineer Research and Development 00:18.117 --> 00:19.950 Center . Today I have with me Mr 00:19.950 --> 00:21.950 William Butler with the coastal and 00:21.950 --> 00:24.310 hydraulics laboratory . He is also 00:24.310 --> 00:26.220 branch chief of the field data 00:26.220 --> 00:28.210 collection and analysis branch . 00:28.220 --> 00:30.320 Welcome , Mr Butler . Thank you , 00:30.320 --> 00:32.431 Shelly . Can you tell us a little bit 00:32.431 --> 00:36.230 about Marv ? To ? Yes , Marv two was 00:36.230 --> 00:39.710 developed from a the pier J C T 00:39.710 --> 00:43.710 D military program um for 00:43.720 --> 00:47.150 reconnaissance pier import structures . 00:47.160 --> 00:51.160 Um Since then , there have been the one 00:51.160 --> 00:53.160 that we have here behind us now and 00:53.160 --> 00:55.420 four others manufacturers and those 00:55.420 --> 00:58.410 have been uh transitioned into the army 00:58.410 --> 01:00.577 dive detachments and for the army dive 01:00.577 --> 01:03.510 dive detachments . Um Furthermore , 01:03.520 --> 01:06.410 since that period , we have utilized 01:06.410 --> 01:08.632 this on several other military projects 01:08.640 --> 01:11.640 other than the dive operations uh as 01:11.650 --> 01:14.050 and we've been using it on several 01:14.060 --> 01:16.730 civil works applications as well . So 01:16.730 --> 01:18.397 you talked about how this was 01:18.397 --> 01:20.230 originally designed for military 01:20.230 --> 01:22.174 applications . Can you give us one 01:22.174 --> 01:25.250 example of that ? Yes . So when just 01:25.250 --> 01:28.220 for instance , if a airport is damaged 01:28.230 --> 01:30.119 somehow or another , whether it's 01:30.119 --> 01:32.850 natural disaster or uh an explosion or 01:32.850 --> 01:35.850 some , some sort , this vessel would be 01:35.850 --> 01:38.017 put into the water . It would actually 01:38.017 --> 01:40.330 collect the necessary data to , to give 01:40.330 --> 01:42.720 to a subject matter expert to give 01:42.720 --> 01:45.280 repairs for that , for that uh 01:45.290 --> 01:47.470 structure , for that structure . And 01:47.470 --> 01:49.581 along those line , you also said that 01:49.581 --> 01:51.470 is now being used for civil works 01:51.470 --> 01:53.359 applications . Can you tell us an 01:53.359 --> 01:55.359 example of one of those civil works 01:55.359 --> 01:57.303 applications that the March two is 01:57.303 --> 01:59.526 being used for ? Absolutely , I can't , 01:59.526 --> 02:01.359 it's been on several actually um 02:01.359 --> 02:03.303 propose hurricane specifically for 02:03.308 --> 02:05.252 hurricane Michael that hit down in 02:05.252 --> 02:07.598 Panama City area . We were using it for 02:07.598 --> 02:09.654 to look at channel clearing of small 02:09.654 --> 02:11.709 channels and boat harbors down there 02:11.709 --> 02:13.765 for the mobile district . We view on 02:13.765 --> 02:15.656 numerous occasions for looking at 02:15.666 --> 02:18.666 stealing basins behind locks and around 02:18.666 --> 02:20.333 locks and dams for looking at 02:20.333 --> 02:22.222 structural integrity , structural 02:22.222 --> 02:24.406 inspections for Spalding and things 02:24.406 --> 02:26.506 like that . Mark two is a very 02:26.506 --> 02:28.728 innovative technology . Can you tell us 02:28.728 --> 02:30.839 a little bit about some of its unique 02:30.839 --> 02:33.286 capabilities I can . Yes . So number 02:33.286 --> 02:35.906 one mark to of course there was a 02:35.906 --> 02:38.694 marble one . So March two capabilities . 02:38.704 --> 02:41.054 There's one aspect of this is the boat 02:41.064 --> 02:43.008 as you see here is that it has the 02:43.008 --> 02:45.184 ability to go over a wave . That's the 02:45.184 --> 02:48.254 number one and not and be stable . So 02:48.274 --> 02:51.084 the platform can do this independently 02:51.094 --> 02:53.364 other than a boat that just goes into a 02:53.364 --> 02:56.014 way which the sensors that are on there . 02:56.014 --> 02:58.554 The light are the multi being the the 02:58.554 --> 03:00.721 other types of sensors that go on this 03:00.721 --> 03:04.222 boat as well . That helps in all of the 03:04.222 --> 03:06.389 aspects of the data collection to give 03:06.389 --> 03:08.611 the most accurate data you possibly can 03:08.611 --> 03:10.444 get . Now , it is uh it is fully 03:10.444 --> 03:12.802 autonomous . Uh it is driven basically 03:12.802 --> 03:15.922 with an Xbox type controller which is 03:15.922 --> 03:18.582 really cool or , and it can be handed 03:18.582 --> 03:20.804 off to another person sitting somewhere 03:20.804 --> 03:22.860 else and it could be driven that way 03:22.860 --> 03:25.193 you can put it in fully autonomous mode , 03:25.193 --> 03:27.304 given a mission plan and it can go on 03:27.304 --> 03:27.062 and collect the data and bring it back 03:27.062 --> 03:27.462 to you .
