Modeling and Analyzing the Propagation from Environmental through Sonar Performance Prediction

Abstract

Central to the long-term goals of this joint project is to understand the physics of the propagation of uncertainty through the interfaces between oceanography, acoustics, array processing and performance prediction. Our specific emphasis is on addressing the issues relevant to and communicating results to the operational naval sonar operator. We will develop an efficient overall simulation platform that combines all of the components of the baseline (mean) and uncertainty problem. The development of a methodology to distill the complexity and uncertainty of the ocean acoustic environment and the system level sensitivities to relevant situational awareness for the operator is an important goal of this research.
