SAHRV Modem P3I and SAHRV Modem P3I System Integration

Abstract

The long-term goals of our acoustic communications efforts are to better understand the underwater acoustic communication channel and the performance of acoustic communication signals under conditions representative of acoustic links useful for AUVs and Navy vessels. This work includes development of modulation methods, design of receiver strategies, work on error-control coding, optimization of system components for different applications, and other related work. The objective of this project was to transition WHOI acoustic communications technology into a production-ready system for use by the Navy. The Pre-Planned Product Improvement (P3I) program specifically included several technologies, including forward-looking sonar and acoustic communications. Our work focused on the acoustic communications technology with the goal of complete integration into REMUS/SAHRV (Semi-Autonomous Hydrographic Reconnaissance Vehicle).
