This was a joint project with MIT, Henrik Schmidt et al "separate ONR proposal" and SACLANTCEN "Stevenson and Jensen". The long term goals are to develop environmentally adaptive bi- and multi-static sonar concepts for autonomous off-board sensor networks for the detection and classification of proud, buried and waterborne targets in shallow water. SACLANTCEN provided three weeks of simultaneous sea time for both the R/V Alliance and R/V Leonardo during July ...
The long term goals are: The central efforts are to conduct research in ocean acoustics and signal processing, educate graduate students and participate in the ONR research community. The objectives are to conduct long term basic research in ocean acoustics with emphasis on involving graduate students, post docs and junior researchers in the research. Concerning graduate students, goals include both exploring research ideas that may lead to thesis research and ...
Geoacoustic inversion from tow-ship noised data acquired on a horizontal towed array is discussed. Through simulations and experimental results, it is shown that even very quiet ships radiate sufficient noise power to enable self-noise inversion of basic geoacoustic parameters such as effective bottom velocity.
