Biopotential Monitoring Noise in Sonar Control Spaces.
Abstract
The report describes the results of tests performed to measure electromagnetic noise in sonar control spaces for the purpose of determining whether the monitoring of bioelectric potentials is possible in the operational environment. Such monitoring is desirable to obtain information useful in evaluating and improving sonar equipment and the performance of sonar operators. The test equipment comprised a triaxial jig capable of measuring electromagnetic noise along three orthogonal axes and associated amplifying, recording, playback and analysis equipment. Recordings made at a shore station and aboard the USS LOCKWOOD (FF 1064) indicate that the electromagnetic noise in sonar control spaces is either sufficiently low in level or sufficiently frequency specific to allow the monitoring of bioelectric potentials. These recordings are available for future use in simulating the operational environment for testing and evaluating biomonitoring equipment developed for operational use.
