The Aerially Deployed Soil Penetrometer (ADSP) is designed to obtain vehicle mobility data remotely when implanted aerially. Exploratory development of the Aerially Deployed Soil Penetrometer was begun in 1979. Two parameters have been studied: (1) deceleration of the soil penetrometer as it penetrates the soil, and (2) electrical resistivity of the soil. Correlations of these parameters with Army Cone index, the current manually obtained mobility figure-of-merit, has been attempted with varying degrees of agreement. The current opinion of the Naval Coastal Systems Center (NCSC), and of several independent research organizations, is that the ADSP is capable of generating a Mobility Index from deceleration and electrical resistivity data which is obtained without the necessity of operators on the ground. The data may be either manually or machine processed.
