In Phase I of the SBIR program, LEEOAT Company will develop the autonomous forward looking sensor for unmanned shallow underwater vehicles. Based on its patented micromachining processes and aerospace technologies, LEEOAT Company will design, simulate and reduce to practice the crucial elements of the ultrasound forward looking sonar camera (FLSC), for surveillance/reconnaissance in shallow waters. Finally we will estimate the cost/effort for the fabrication and testing the FLSC prototype during Phase II of the SBIR program.
