NSWC Panama City Division’s MEASUR: Revolutionizing underwater safety through subsea recognition
July 8, 2026 — Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City Division scientists are revolutionizing subsea battle damage assessment with a groundbreaking initiative called MEASUR (Mission Effectiveness & Assessment with Subsea Recognition). By equipping unmanned underwater vehicles with advanced sensors and AI, this system represents a significant leap forward in how the U.S. Navy evaluates underwater threats and infrastructure. This innovative approach provides combatant commanders with rapid, reliable data to accelerate decision-making and keep our warfighters safe in contested waters. MEASUR is funded by the Naval Innovative Science and Engineering program, which is one of the Navy's most powerful mechanisms for launching technologies that Navy Labs produce into the hands of the warfighter...
