Synthetic Aperture Sonar for Mine Countermeasures Unmanned Underwater Vehicles (UUVs) (Navy)
Abstract
This project tests a Synthetic Aperture Sonar payload with on-board automatic target recognition algorithms for Mine Countermeasure UUVs to increase detection range and resolution. This technology reduces the time required for mine countermeasure missions and post mission analysis. If successful, the technology will transition to Program Manager Naval Explosive Ordnance Disposal for inclusion on the Mk 18 UUV. Test planning and test article contract award occurred in 1Q-2Q FY 2019. Demonstration of real-time processing on small UUV in 3Q FY 2019. Test articles received in 4Q FY 2019. This project continues in FY 2020 with FY 2020 funds.
