Telesonar Network for the FRONT Undersea Sensor System

Abstract

LONG-TERM GOAL. Modern electronics, digital communication theory, and acoustic energy propagation will provide the basis for implementing sophisticated wireless undersea sensor networks. OBJECTIVE. This project advances communications technology in support of the scientific objectives of the NOPP Front-Resolving Observational Network with Telemetry (FRONT) effort. We apply undersea acoustic communication (telesonar) capabilities now being developed for deployable autonomous distributed surveillance and other Naval missions to a remote field of moored oceanographic sensors at a complex site on the North American continental shelf.
