Science Applications International
Corporation (SAIC) SAI today announced it has been awarded a contract
for the production and delivery of six SAIC Tsunami Buoy (STB) systems by the
Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) in Tokyo, Japan.
The STB systems will be deployed at locations in the northwest Pacific Ocean
approximately 200 nautical miles east of Sendai, Japan. The coastal region
around Sendai experienced the brunt of the damage from the 2011 Tohoku
earthquake and subsequent tsunami. These STB systems represent part of a
larger network of sensors deployed by the JMA that will provide the entire
region with critical data to assess the magnitude of tsunamis generated in the
oceans east of Japan. The addition of these systems into the existing sensor
network will help strengthen the current warning system and provide a
capability to directly assess tsunami waves in the deep sea.
