Bioluminescence Risk Detection Aid
Abstract
The long-term goal of this project is to develop a bioluminescence risk detection aid (BRDA) for underwater vehicle navigation and mission planning. The purpose of the bioluminescence risk detection aid is to provide real-time information as to the probability of above water visual detection of platform-induced (e.g. an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle, SEAL Delivery Vehicle, or diver) bioluminescence, based on local environmental data, in-situ measurements, and simple radiative transfer models. This work directly addresses ONR topic # N08-193. Our envisioned bioluminescence risk detection aid will include 1) a suite of simple, compact, low power sensors to measure the intensity of vehicle-stimulated bioluminescence, water attenuation properties, ambient light, and depth, 2) a data acquisition and processing system to integrate measurement streams and apply a simple radiative transfer algorithm to determine bioluminescence detection risk, and 3) a simple, user interface to display real-time threat risk.
