USCG to Test Integrated Anti-Swimmer System

The U.S. Coast Guard is seeking comment on the draft Programmatic Environmental Assessment (PEA) of the Integrated Anti-Swimmer System (IAS). The agency proposes to deploy and operate the IAS for temporary periods at various U.S. ports in order to detect, track, classify, and interdict potential underwater threats so as to protect personnel, ships, and property from sabotage or subversive acts. Comments should be submitted by November 17. 70 Fed. Reg. 57612 (October 3, 2005).
