The Spring 2000 issue of Solutions Update focuses on Battelle's 35 years of providing technology solutions for the U.S. Navy. Battelle's expertise is internationally recognized in hydraulics, underwater tools and manipulators that are able to function in ocean depths of 20,000 feet. While much work takes place at ocean test sites, Battelle labs in Columbus boast four hyperbaric chambers and a research diving pool with a five-ton crane. Battelle scientists and Navy experts have performed ocean engineering research in areas such as ship salvage and oil pollution abatement, surface handling, deep ocean recovery and undersea work systems.
Some recent projects involve innovations to side-look sonar systems and underwater cameras.
