This show investigates and monitors the activity of the AUTEC (Atlantic
Undersea Test and Evaluation Center), which is used by the U.S. Navy for
underwater research, but the increasing reports of UFO and USO activity
surrounding the facility have led to rumors the base is testing alien
technology.
The U.S. Navy's Atlantic Undersea Test and Evaluation
Center (AUTEC) is an instrumented laboratory that performs integrated
three-dimensional hydrospace/aerospace trajectory measurements covering
the entire spectrum of undersea simulated warfare: calibration,
classifications, detection, and destruction. Its vital mission is to
assist in establishing and maintaining naval ability of the United
States through testing, evaluation, and underwater research.
General information
The
sophisticated facility includes three test ranges: the Weapons Range,
the Acoustic Range, and the FORACS Range, all located in the Tongue of
the ocean (TOTO), a deep-ocean basin approximately 100 nautical miles
(190 km) long by 15 nautical miles (28 km) wide with depths as great as
6,000 feet (1,800 m). The main AUTEC support base and downrange tracking
stations are on Andros Island in the Bahamas, just west of Nassau and
about 180 nautical miles (333 km) southeast of West Palm Beach, Florida.
The
deep water Weapons Range lies roughly parallel to the east coast of
Andros Island. It is the largest and most versatile of the AUTEC ranges,
and it is capable of tracking up to 63 in-water objects simultaneously.
The range is supported by the Main Base (Site 1) and various smaller
sites located to the south along the east coast of Andros Island.
AN/WQC-2A Sonar Communications Sets and Bi-Directional Communications
Nodes provide underwater voice communications for mobile target and
emergency command signal coverage, while HF, UHF, and VHF
