Seabed Variability and its Influence on Acoustic Prediction Uncertainty
Abstract
A basic tenet of the Office of Naval Research s Uncertainty in the Natural Environment Defense Research Initiative (Uncertainty DRI) is that, in any strategic situation, environmental parameters will never be known in complete enough detail to enable a perfectly accurate acoustic detection. Our group has been funded address acoustic uncertainty associated with bottom and subbottom variability. In particular, we will (1) assess and characterize the seafloor variability, and (2) determine the impact of seafloor variability on acoustic prediction uncertainty.
