Estimation of Sediment Properties Using Air Launched Sonobuoys

Abstract

The US Navy has been developing its Multi-Static Active Coherent (MAC) acoustic search system. MAC is an air launched acoustic search system that combines a newly developed coherent source sonobuoy with a field of receiver sonobuoys. With the introduction of the coherent source, operational search data collected during MAC exercises are well suited for post-processing to infer waveguide properties. The long term goal of this research is to investigate the feasibility of estimating sediment acoustic properties using data collected during such exercises.
