U.S. Navy sailors fill up a submersible matting system to conduct combined joint logistics over-the-shore offloads in preparation for Balikatan 23

Submersible Matting System (SUBMAT)

• Ensures access across lighter convey waves, bridging systems, and austere sites
• Achieves full-scale trafficability testing, rapid prototyping, and performance objectives
• Provides an affordable option for rapid deployment of a trafficable roadway by a small crew in austere coastal environments

Modular Bathymetry

• Distinct CNC programming digitally creates expanded polystyrene foam (EPS) blocks that can be easily employed to create more detailed and accurate bathymetric models than traditional concrete
• EPS foam blocks can be easily and rapidly placed and removed in situ, allowing prototype refinement, use in limited space areas, and storage
• Using EPS reduces construction costs by 30-60% and allows up to 60% faster construction time compared with concrete modeling

Bedload Transport Measurement Method

• Quick, real-time measurement of bedload flow rates
• Precise transport rate of bedload using quantitative data
• Less intrusive and potentially damaging than samplers
• Prevents costly navigation delays
