REVISED ACOUSTIC AND SEISMIC RESEARCH FIELD TEST PLAN

Abstract

The program of acoustic and seismic combat surveillance and target acquisition described in this Test Plan is intended to produce quantitative measurements of acoustic and seismic wave fields to determine the feasibility of their use for several types of combat surveillance that may be desirable in the Southeast Asian environment. By making the measurements over broad regions of the acoustic and seismic spectra it should be possible to determine what portions of the spectra are most applicable for particular surveillance problems. Surveillance experiments for a number of types of sources of acoustic and seismic waves are to be considered for each locality. Variations in detection capability between localities in particular areas and between different regions are to be studied. Attempts will be made to relate these variations in detection capability to the meteorological, geological, and vegetation conditions at the test sites. Measurements of background noise for both acoustic and seismic wave fields will be made.
