Shallow Water MCM and ASW Using Off-Board, Autonomous Sensor Networks and Multistatic, Time-Reversal Acoustics
Abstract
To utilize high fidelity acoustic modeling of both scatterers and shallow-water environments to better understand and bound the limits of detectability for mine-like objects via autonomous networks of sensors. To conduct a series of realistic experiments using multiple sonar-equipped AUVs in shallow water and then cross-validate the results obtained with high precision modeling and visualization. To better understand the problems of cooperative autonomous vehicle interaction to define the base-line infrastructure requirements for cooperative detection, classification and navigation.
