The Pacific Missile Range operates and maintains a shore (field) activity on the Hawaiian Area that is available to all authorized Department of Defense programs. The PACIFIC MISSILE RANGE FACILITY, HAWAIIAN AREA UNDERWATER RANGE is a component of this facility, which is located at Barking Sands, Kekaha, Kauai, Hawaii, and was implemented as a result of COMASWFORPAC requirements for a tactical underwater range. This report is addressed to potential users of the Range. It provides an unclassified general description of the range capabilities and details on preparation, planning, scheduling, and operating on the Range. (Author).

Located near the northwest coast of Kauai, Hawaii, the Pacific Missile Range Facility, Hawaiian Area and Underwater Range provide the capability of three-dimensional tracking of air, surface and subsurface elements for the evaluation of weapon systems and Fleet tactics. The underwater range portion is located in a 5- by 10-mile area approximately 10 miles offshore in water depths of 400 to 1,000 fathoms. The 37 bottom-mounted tracking hydrophones are cabled to shore for data processing, analysis and display. Accurate tracking depends upon a detailed knowledge of such environmental factors as sound velocity, temperature, salinity, pressure, bottom topography, tides, ocean currents, sea state, wind direction and velocity, air temperature and pressure, and general weather forecasting.

A 1:60-scale, three-dimensional hydraulic model was used to investigate the design of a proposed harbor at Barking Sands, Kauai, Hawaii, with respect to wave action and entrance channel shoaling. The model reproduced the proposed harbor, approximately 4,600 ft of the Hawaiian shoreline, and sufficient offshore area in the Pacific Ocean to permit generation of the required test waves. One harbor configuration with two breakwater plans was tested. An 80-ft-long unidirectional, spectral wave generator, an automated data acquisition and control system, and a crushed coat tracer material were used in model operation. It was concluded from test results that: (a) For the harbor basin and entrance channel with no structures installed (Plan 1), wave heights in the berthing area will exceed the established 1.5-ft criterion for test waves from all five test directions. (b) For the harbor basin and entrance channel with no structures installed (Plan 1), sediment will migrate into the entrance channel for test waves from all five directions. (c) For the offshore breakwater plan (Plan 2), wave heights in the berthing area will exceed the established criterion for test waves from the predominant northwest direction. (d) For the offshore breakwater plan (Plan 2), sediment tracer north of the harbor will migrate southerly into the entrance channel for test waves from the predominant northwest direction. (e) For the dual shore-connected breakwater plan (Plan 3), wave heights will exceed the criterion in the berthing area by only 0.1 ft at one location. (f) For the dual shore-connected breakwater plan (Plan 3), no appreciable shoaling of the harbor entrance will occur.

The purpose of the report is to provide information which can be used to better protect present and future cable landings at the PMRF. Information need for proper design of cable protection includes wind data, wave data, nearshore current estimates, longshore and onshore-offshore sand transport estimates, and geotechnical data. The National Climatic Data Center has provided summaries of six years of wind data collected at the PMRF. Wave data are less abundant and are contained in several sources: the wave climate put together by Marine Advisers (1964); the daily visual observations made at the PMFR since 1968; and an offshore wave gage installed in October 1982. Limited nearshore current data are available from several references. Geotechnical information was particularly scarce so a program of data collection was planned and executed. Three 30-foot borings were taken on the beach to provide information primarily about the depth and strength of the beachrock indigenous to the PMRF cable landing area. In this report, the climate of the study area, including precipitation and temperature, is discussed. Wind and wave data are tabulated and analyzed with directional and seasonal trends identified. The geology of the region is briefly summarized with particular emphasis on beachrock, which seems to be the indirect cause of most of the cable problems. The sediment budget is described and includes an identification of sand sources and sand movement directions. The conclusion include a summary of design considerations and some recommendations for future work.
