Long Range, Large Throughput Radio Data Link for DUSS (Deployable Underwater Surveillance Systems)
Abstract
In the current security environment, the submarine threat is posed by small submarines operating in shallow coastal waters. These operating areas are characterized by heavy shipping traffic and strong reverberation conditions. These conditions lead to poor performance from currently operational sonar systems. The DUSS (Deployable Underwater Surveillance Systems) concept is based on a network of autonomous sonar sources and receivers designed and deployed for optimal detection of small targets in adverse environmental conditions. Such distributed sensors rely on data communication to implement coordinated surveillance of the desired areas.
