Eric Summer and I recently packed up the DART repair tool for a trip down to Naval Base Ventura County in Port Hueneme, CA. There, we participated in the Navy’s Repair Technology Exercise, or REPTX 2022. Onboard the Navy’s Self Defense Test Ship (SDTS), Hill Engineering demonstrated how the DART repair tool can be applied as an industrial maintenance solution.
