Acoustic Communications (ACOMMS) ATD

Abstract

The goal of the recently completed Acoustic Communications Advanced Technology Demonstration program (ACOMMS ATD) was to demonstrate long range and moderate data rate underwater acoustic communications between a submarine at speed and depth and other tactical platforms. This capability, as a component of Battlespace Connectivity, has repeatedly been identified as one of the highest priority COMSUBLANT/COMSUBPAC Command Capability Issues (FY97, FY98 and FY99).
