ASW Systems Development - MIP

Abstract

The mission of Airborne Acoustic Intelligence (AAI) (CNO Project K-0416) is to provide Sound Pressure Level (SPL) quality recordings of targets of interest and an associated new technology, rapid prototyping mechanism for the application of state-of-the-art collection sensors. The program will develop and rapidly deploy new technology concepts in hardware and software to effectively address emerging littoral threats and to improve the present Undersea Warfare capability in support of the preparation of the Battlespace and Sea Shield/Sea Trial Initiatives. AAI also provides a measurement analysis capability to reconstruct, analyze, and develop active and target strength measurement validation. The AAI data collection program provides passive and active acoustic and non-acoustic data essential for the design and development of environmental models, sensors, weapons, software algorithms, and tactical decision aids. AAI employs developmental and prototypical hardware installed in uniquely configured Anti Submarine Warfare aircraft to collect data of interest, and specially configured ground support facilities to conduct reconstruction and analysis of this data. AAI includes calibrated recording systems, advanced detection and tracking systems, special sensors, advanced processing systems and techniques and specially derived operational tactics. Funding was moved in FY11 from PE 0603254N to this PE (0303354N) and is a Military Intelligence Program.
