Active Missions

Live search operations and drift case studies โ€” multi-sensor anomaly detection, ice drift physics, and submerged-object probability mapping.

๐Ÿ”ญ Active Search Operations

Synthesis Complete โ†’ Priority: SDB Stack

๐Ÿ›ฉ๏ธ Spectacle Reef โ€” 1959 Wyman Piper

USAF MSgt William Wyman ditched a Piper Super Cruiser ~1 nm NE of Spectacle Reef Light, Lake Huron, Feb 22 1959. Dual search: seabed airframe (Tier A 45.785, โˆ’84.120) and ice-person reverse drift (NE primary).

Next steps

  1. โญ PRIORITY โ€” SDB stack โ€” Stumpf/Lyzenga on on-disk Landsat clear scenes over Tier A chip
  2. Extend Newell ATL03 pool โ€” 231 CMR granules pending clear-day track at 50m depth
  3. Crib exclude mask โ€” GeoJSON around lighthouse structure
  4. Side-scan / ROV on Tier A โ€” water-truth close
