Remote Identification of Seafloor Properties in Denied Areas

Abstract

The long-term goal of this project is to develop techniques to collect and use remotely sensed acoustic data to make robust predictions of seafloor physical, acoustic and geotechnical properties in denied areas at spatial and temporal scales appropriate for tactical applications. The work described is a collaboration of research groups at the University of New Hampshire (CCOM) and the University of Delaware (CSHEL). The project aims to take advantage of the recent results of theoretical and empirical studies in concert with new developments in sonar and Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs), to address the fundamental goal of remote characterization of seafloor properties in denied areas.
