Improving the Water Column Representation

Abstract

The representation of the undersea environment has often been ignored, or at best static, or precalculated in distributed simulation. This paper details the efforts of a multidisciplinary team who have implemented a dynamic ocean model and sensor response in the Joint Semi-Automated Forces (JSAF) architecture. A variant of the Princeton Ocean Model was run off the North Carolina coast to provide the dynamic environment. The Shallow Water Acoustic Toolset (PC-SWAT) that modeled the AQS-14 sonar solved the sonar equation. A CORBA interface to JSAF was developed to replace the pre-calculated look-up tables with real-time sensor information. This system was demonstrated in April 2000 at the Naval Research laboratory and will be used in the Naval War College's Fleet Battle Experiment-Hotel in August 2000.
