AUV Self Noise Control and Acoustic Signature Measurements

Abstract

The long-term goals of this project are to develop techniques, which can be used in the design of AUV's to minimize the radiated noise. The self noise from an AUV can interfere with acoustic sensors on board the AUV, specifically acoustic modem sensors and other sonar equipment. Hence the reduction of AUV noise and structural vibration is essential in increasing the reliability of operation of the on-board acoustic sensors.
