Broadband Acoustic Clutter and Seabed Variability: its Influence on Prediction Uncertainty
Abstract
The long term goals associated with these projects are to: 1) improve performance of low-mid frequency active sonar systems against clutter 2) assess and characterize uncertainty in the tactical naval environment. The objectives of the first project are to understand the mechanisms that lead to clutter and develop models that predict the temporal/spatial/frequency dependence of the observed clutter. The objectives of the second project are to characterize the spatial variability of the seabed geoacoustic properties using acoustic methods and determine the uncertainties and errors associated with the estimation of the geoacoustic properties.
