Acoustic Seaglider: Planning for the Philippine Sea

Abstract

We want to integrate acoustics across naval and oceanographic applications. On one hand active and passive acoustics are used to detect submarines. On the other hand, acoustics are used to measure and better understand the ocean environment of the detection problem. Acoustics are essential to the underwater "infrastructure" tasks of navigation, communications, and time transfer. In all cases, the detailed understanding of acoustic propagation, ocean variability, temporal and spatial coherence, ambient sound and the assimilation of data in models is essential for improved systems performance and the quantification of the associated uncertainty.
