ESME Workbench Innovations

Abstract

The goal of this project is to enhance the flexibility and computational efficiency of the ESME Workbench and to work with NUWC-Newport to merge the NEMO and ESME approaches into the "One Navy Model." The "One Navy Model" is intended to serve as the standard simulation system for use in predicting impacts of anthropogenic sound sources on marine life for environmental compliance purposes. Two versions of the One Navy Model will be created. The first version will designed for use by the US Navy and its subcontractors (classified version) and the second version will have equivalent functionality but will not use data or software codes that are classified or otherwise not available to the general public(unclassified version). After acceptance by NUWC, the features and algorithms in these software packages will remain unchanged during the current permitting cycle for US Navy training exercises while a third version of the simulation software (research version) will continue to evolve.
