BLUG (Bottom-Loss Upgrade) Development and Applications

Abstract

This report summarizes work performed by Science Applications, Inc. for the Naval Ocean Research and Development Activity on Contract N00014-83-C-0235 in technical areas related to bottom loss. Three tasks, associated with SAI's work on the Bottom-Loss Upgrade (BLUG), are reported here: (1) revisions, updates and extensions -- specifically development with NAVOCEANO and incorporation into BLUG of new geo-acoustic areas for the Mediterranean, and an extension into shallow water; (2) mid-frequency transition -- improving BLUG predictions at mid to high frequencies; and (3) ASW System Performance impact -- development of graphic representations of the meaning of BLUG for system performance predictions.
