Optimal Deployment of Drifting Acoustic Sensors
Abstract
This is collaborative program comprised of academic, private sector and Navy researchers. The Optimal Deployment of Drifting Acoustic Sensors (ODDAS) program seeks to develop the capability to predict the trajectory of drifting sensors, such as sonobuoys. Emerging antisubmarine warfare programs seek to develop technologies facilitating the deployment of large distributed fields of offboard sensors/sonobuoys with operating lives approaching several days. The acoustic coverage of these systems over multiple day periods is highly dependent on the drift of the individual sensors. Field integrity is often compromised due to local spatial and temporal current variations within the field. The ability to forecast (and hind cast) sensor trajectories, in conjunction with acoustic performance prediction models, will enable operators to select initial deployments such that acoustic coverage will be optimized for the particular mission.
