Non-traditional Active Sonar

Abstract

(U) The goal of the Non-traditional Active Sonar program is to develop alternative solutions for anti-submarine warfare active sonar. Given the trend of submarine quieting, passive sonar is of diminishing value to the Navy for large area searches. The existing alternatives are high power active sonar systems which are overt and difficult to use in peace time given concerns for the environment. The program will investigate new approaches which exploit special acoustic phenomena through advanced active sonar signal processing to counter the need for high peak power sonar. Emphasis is on data-driven algorithms applicable across existing Navy towed and bottom arrays.
