FORACS ranges consist of a series of radar and acoustic targets used to check the accuracy of a ship's sensors. CHESDIV was tasked to install several acoustic targets (a deep and shallow water target at AUTEC and a deep water target at St. Croix with a backup to be installed as a shallow water target at St. Croix if time permitted. Each target is separately cabled back to shore (with Simplex .057/.180 Quad Cable) and into a control panel located in the control room of the appropriate facility. CHESDIV efforts consisted of bringing the cable to the on-shore termination boxes. The connections to the termination boxes and the cabling and connections between the boxes and the control panel were carried out by the facility and APL.
