The Naval Submarine Medical Research Facility and the Naval Facilities Engineering Service Center will perform these tests jointly. The work effort will evaluate the relationship between the plasma arc characteristics of PFN machines and the characteristics of underwater shocks created by these machines. Test variables will include pulse energies of 210 to 235 dBm, ranges of 10 to 200 meters and depths of 2 to 15 meters. This data will be used by Navy researchers for future operational tests.
