Bistatic Target Localization and Classification using low-cost ASVs and AUVs in Shallow Water

Abstract

The objective of this research was to investigate acoustic characterization techniques for seabed targets that are scalable to multiple low-cost autonomous vehicles fitted with simple hydrophone arrays and sources in response to the detection, classification, and remediation of military munitions underwater statement of need. Specifically, this research investigated the use of bistatic and multistatic scattering from seabed targets for target localization and characterization using unmanned marine vehicles.
