Shallow Water MCM and ASW Using Off-Board, Autonomous Sensor Networks and Multistatic, Time-Reversal Acoustics

Abstract

This was a joint project with MIT, Henrik Schmidt et al "separate ONR proposal" and SACLANTCEN "Stevenson and Jensen". The long term goals are to develop environmentally adaptive bi- and multi-static sonar concepts for autonomous off-board sensor networks for the detection and classification of proud, buried and waterborne targets in shallow water. SACLANTCEN provided three weeks of simultaneous sea time for both the R/V Alliance and R/V Leonardo during July 2004. MPL'S main contribution was to develop and test signal processing algorithms.
