Trial Support and Data Analysis for 2015 ONR Sea-Trial

Abstract

This work had two primary tasks. The first was the support of the PI and Penn State Applied Research Laboratory (PSU-ARL) technicians for demobilization and post-experimental cleanup of the FORA acquisition system. This work is in connection with the initial experimental effort of the Littoral Continuous Active Sonar (LCAS) Multi-National Joint Research Project (MN-JRP), which took place off the coast of La Spezia, Italy in late 2015. The second objective is support of the PI and John Preston (now emeritus faculty at PSU-ARL) to process select FORA cardioid data from the LCAS 2015 trial and statistically characterize reverberation and clutter using K-distribution estimates and correlation statistics to aid in Continuous Active Sonar (CAS) and pulsed active sonar (PAS) comparisons.
