Article Abstract:

Sophisticated sonar technology fitted aboard naval survey vessels and Rapid Environmental Assessment techniques developed for military purposes have provided important tools for scientists investigating the causes of the tsunami. The UK Royal Navy's (RN'S) survey vessel HMS Scott played a key role to provide detailed imagery of the epicenter of the earthquake and has shed new light on the Asian tsunami, which happened on December 26, 2004.

Rescue mission: The Pave Hawk helicopter has been a life saver, but it's no longer up to the job

Article Abstract:

The versatile HH-60G Pave Hawk helicopter has demonstrated its flexibility in executing combat rescue missions and civil rescue operations in the ravages caused by the hurricanes Katrina and Rita. But due to its altitude and cabin-space limitations and its inefficiencies in operating in adverse weather conditions, rescue missions have often been hampered.
