Harbor/Mooring Area Defense Concept

Abstract

The goals of the proposed work are an initial feasibility study, including calculations, demonstrating the ability to direct or focus low-frequency acoustic energy. For given source configurations, acoustic propagation modeling was conducted for simple, idealized, harbor type environments. The calculations yielded spatial plots of acoustic energy as a function of depth and range which provide information on source location and power requirements.
