<strong>Coast</strong> <strong>Guard</strong> Break-Away Timer<br />
Mission Need: Capability to identify ship operators involved in Aids to Navigation (ATON) allisions resulting in<br />
significant financial loss for CG due to buoy repairs and replacements.<br />
<strong>Project</strong> Objectives:<br />
• Conduct research into past incidents and document requirements. Conduct<br />
market research into potential technologies.<br />
• Develop and test a proof-of-concept device that can be installed on smaller<br />
foam aids with mooring chains in locations that are prone to parting upon<br />
impact.<br />
• Ensure that the timer device is capable of recording the amount of time<br />
from impact to recovery of buoy.<br />
