Acoustic Communications ATD
Abstract
The goal of the Acoustic Communications Advanced Technology Demonstration program (ACOMMS ATD) is to provide long range and high data rate communications to meet the highest priority command in COMSUBLANT/COMSUBPAC Command Capability Issues (FY97 and FY98) of Battlespace Connectivity. The primary objective of the Acoustic Communications Advanced Technology Demonstration (ACOMMS ATD) is to develop and demonstrate emerging undersea communication technologies at operationally useful ranges and data rates. The secondary objective of the ACOMMS ATD is to develop a fleet-compatible advanced acoustic communication capability that can easily be transitioned into planned Fleet sonar system commercial hardware upgrade programs. Specifically, the ACOMMS ATD shall demonstrate the potential to provide a reliable, robust, high data rate acoustic communications capability for tactical use between submarines, surface combatants, unmanned undersea vehicles (UUVs), and other platforms. This communications capability includes the transmission of text data, images, and digitized voice from one operational unit to the other on a real-time (not including propagation time) basis over both short range (2.5 nm - environmentally dependent) at high frequency, and long range (35 nm - environmentally dependent) at medium frequency.
