Summary	The U.S. Navy requires the capability to stop and/or restrain large uncooperative marine vessels without imposing catastrophic damage or deliberate loss of life. Furthermore it is stated that the goal of the Large Vessel Stopping program is to research innovative technologies with the potential to enhance the Navy's ability to interdict and stop a broad spectrum of maritime vessels, primarily large vessels, in open oceans and coastal regions. Specifically, this effort shall provide for the completion of engineering research and analysis complimentary to and in support of the parachute sea anchor drag system being developed by SRI International, Inc. as part of an overall solution to the technical challenge of vessel restraining.
