Abstract
The availability of real-time information on sea ice
conditions in ice covered seas has always been important,
not only to strategic military operations, but to the
economies of those countries that border the Arctic and
its marginal seas. Knowledge of the thickness and
movement of sea ice as well as the locations of open
water is required for traversing the Arctic whether in a
drill ship, in a cargo vessel or in an ice strengthened
ship such as a Coast Guard ice breaker.
