Abstract:
MI Technical Solutions, Inc. (MITS) is a global IT and engineering business that provides leading-edge solutions to government and private sector customers. The ¹ÏÉñÍø/MITS Team currently possesses the only commercial submarine registered in the state of Virginia. The MITS-FISH-007 is a fully functional 15-foot wet fill submersible that can be used for a variety of underwater research, mapping, and inspection tasks. MITS-FISH-007 is all-electric and has the capability of supporting additional electric loads. The ¹ÏÉñÍø/MITS team is currently refurbishing and updating the MITS-FISH-007.
