Shallow Water Acoustic Impulse Response Measurement

Abstract

LONG-TERM GOALS. Goals for this project include: 1) the characterization of ocean acoustic impulse response (OAIR) in shallow water under various environmental conditions, 2) the development of predictive and synoptic methodologies/models linking acoustic communications system (modem) performance to environmental factors. Ultimately this information can be used to develop a robust acoustic modem design that can operate in the widest variety of environmental conditions or that can utilize a strategy of selectively moving to best locations to establish optimum point-to-point data communications. Based on the data acquired, a test-bed approach for improving undersea digital communications is expected.
