Non-traditional Active Sonar

Abstract

The Non-traditional Active Sonar program developed alternative solutions for anti-submarine warfare active sonar. Given the trend of submarine quieting, passive sonar is of diminishing value to the Navy. The existing alternatives are high-power active sonar systems that are overt and difficult to use in peace time, especially in far forward or congested littoral areas. The program investigated new approaches which exploit special acoustic phenomena and techniques, through advanced active sonar signal processing to achieve advanced active sonar. Emphasis is on data-driven algorithm development applicable across existing Navy hydrophone sensor arrays.
