Acoustic Seaglider

Abstract

Continually improving acoustics measurements in the ocean is a sine qua non for the advancement of the field of ocean acoustics, a national naval responsibility. Acoustic sensors on mobile, autonomous platforms will enable basic research topics on temporal and spatial coherence and the description of ambient noise, with direct impact on the applicability of coherent processing with its associated gain to the ASW detection problem and acoustic navigation and communications within the context of distributed autonomous persistent undersea surveillance sensor networks. Acoustic Seagliders with integrated acoustic receiving and communication capability are one necessary tool to address these research topics and applications.
