But theres the possibility that perhaps the crew abandoned ship. there were life boats and life board and survival suits on board. the families are hoping they were able to get off that ship, survive the 40 to 50-foot waves as hurricane joaquin went by and there are search planes in a grid pattern looking for any survivors. >> nbcs christian dahlgren, thank you very much. were also monitoring that news conference from the coast guard thats expected within the next ten minutes. well bring it to y...

Theyre using sonar that is made by your company. its a different kind. but can you show whats this mapping looks like when they get that image back? can we go inside and look at that so we get an idea. >> first of all, theyre building a -- weve already seen this mow the lawn pattern. thats what weve been doing here today. we have a grid pattern here. the boat is over here. weve been mowing along. and slowly building up a map of different things that are on the sea floor. this is what the mission...

Its very challenging. >> lets go inside. i want to take a look at how this looklooks. once the sonar is down there it has got to take some data back. >> the idea is to move the sensor back and forth in a regular grid pattern. were moving along now. you see that we did one line previously. as you do youre building up a map of whats on the sea floor. were seeing in realtime the auv. they only see it at the end of their mission. >> they are sort of flying blindly? >> in a way, yes. they will make t...

Theres more to the sonar than in this whole process. that unmanned vehicle has to have navigation systems. all of those systems have to work together. >> so lets take a look and you get that data. in the process of what you get from the sonar. >> we have been mapping throughout the day here. theyre going set up a grid pattern and theyre going to move that grid pattern and thats what you see here. were now at this point and building up additional mapping information. this is going to construct th...

That so far. and in any case, each detection sort of fills in a gap. fills in the box. and as they go back and forth in a very specific grid pattern they will start to build dots. and those dots will get tighter and tighter and you will get to a point where you can come to a very tight and close idea of where you would want to put that unmanned autonomous vehicle. and at that point you start to paint the ocean floor with sonar images. and if there is a wreckage there it will be quite obvious. >>...

Water any longer? lets just concentrate our efforts under water. >> i dont believe they will do that, having worked on teams like this. you still have to make visual contact. they know they have seen it. they have been trying to track it. they have been battling weather. they are still going to go out and try and make a visual identification of the debris they have spotted. once they do that, they will identify it and then they will map out a grid pattern. they will start searching in a particul...

Ultimately, when we find something, that will be an underwater -- and if its in the ocean, it will be an underwater crime scene. walk me through what you do. how do you process, how do you find, how do you map, what do you do with it? >> youre absolutely right. this is a situation that is sort of unprecedented in terms of the scope, the conditions, the number of people that are on-scene and that will continue to sort of swap in and out, given the time frame we may be there. so, again, its all --...
