Located in Henderson Hall on the University of Washington campus, the Laboratory is equipped with specialized facilities for physical and medical acoustics research, microwave remote sensing, image processing, electronic system development, transducer development, and pressure testing, as well as a machine shop and a library. APL-UW owns and operates two research vessels and the university operates several others.
Research and development at APL-UW is funded entirely by grants and contracts, primarily with government mission agencies including the U.S. Navy, National Science Foundation, NASA, U.S. Army, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Jet Propulsion Laboratory, National Institutes of Health, and Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. More information about the Laboratory is available in the 2001 Biennial Report. |

The R/V J.E. Henderson is a 70-foot steel-hulled catamaran vessel with a large interior lab space, a traveling overhead hoist, and a large wet well between the hulls. It is equipped with full instrumentation for calibration of underwater acoustic equipment. Accurate measurements can be made of transmit and receive responses, radiation patterns, and all transducer parameters. The vessel is only operated on the inland waters of Puget Sound and Lake Washington. |
