Atlantic Undersea Test and Evaluation Center (AUTEC), an exten- 

 sive center for testing undersea vehicles, weapons, and weapon systems, 

 offers many fringe benefits to the Navy and private industry in ocean 

 engineering and oceanography. The problems of installing and monitor- 

 ing equipment at depths on the test center will assist in developing ocean 

 engineering techniques. In addition, biological, chemical, fish and many 

 other needed studies in the sea can be conducted at AUTEC.
