Front Profile: The drag force uncertainty for a current velocity of 5.06343 ft/s, and a front profile veiw of the camera and pan/ tilt system is: Uncertainty Results The calculated uncertainties for drag force have reasonable values. With the fastest current used, 5 knots or 8.43905 ft/s, a drag force uncertainty of 4.241 lbs was found for the side view of the camera system. Figure 10 displays uncertainties for drag force vs. current speed for both a side and front view of the camera and pan/ tilt system. It is notable to mention that the drag coefficient created the largest uncertainty. This is because of the irregular shape of the acoustic camera and pan/ tilt. Rough approximations were made in order to calculate the drag coefficients. Due to the fact that the uncertainty measurements have reasonable values, all under 4.5 lbs, the experimentally measured drag forces are expected to be accurate with our predictions.
