Mission logs may document time, depth, heading, speed, commands, operating modes, system status, and other vehicle information. An Underwater Vehicles Expert Witness may compare these records with navigation data, sonar, video, sensor information, and deployment records to reconstruct the vehicle's movement and identify changes in operating conditions during the mission.
Increasing depth changes the pressure acting on housings, seals, connectors, structural components, and other vehicle systems. An Underwater Vehicles Expert Witness may examine operating depth, pressure ratings, inspection findings, test documentation, equipment specifications, and physical evidence to evaluate whether the documented conditions at depth corresponded with changes in vehicle or component performance. Detailed pressure-boundary or structural failure analysis may require specialized engineering expertise.
Tether information, operator commands, control-system logs, communications, video, power records, and vehicle telemetry can help establish how a remotely operated vehicle was being controlled and how it responded. An Underwater Vehicles Expert Witness may compare these records to evaluate changes in vehicle movement, power delivery, communications, operating mode, or tether conditions during the operation.
An Underwater Vehicles Expert Witness may examine inertial navigation information, acoustic positioning data, depth sensors, heading information, velocity measurements, mission waypoints, surface fixes, and recorded vehicle tracks. Comparing multiple positioning sources can help evaluate the consistency and accuracy of the reported underwater location while accounting for differences in sensor performance, calibration, timing, and available reference data.
Prepares clear, well-supported expert reports outlining methodology, analysis, findings, and opinions.
Provide Deposition Testimony
Explains findings and opinions under oath and responds to questioning during deposition testimony.
Testify in Court
Presents specialized findings and opinions clearly to judges, juries, arbitrators, or other decision-makers.
Thruster data, power information, command histories, control logs, alarms, vehicle speed, heading, maintenance records, inspection findings, and post-mission testing can provide evidence of changes in propulsion or vehicle response. An Underwater Vehicles Expert Witness may compare commanded behavior with recorded movement and system status to evaluate whether the vehicle responded as expected and where discrepancies appeared. When the central issue concerns a specific mechanical, electrical, or control-system failure, additional engineering expertise may provide more specialized analysis.
