Acoustical Techniques/Designs Investigated During the Southeast Asia Conflict 1966-1972
Abstract
With the ending of the American military involvement in the Southeast Asia conflict of the 1960's and 1970's, it became appropriate to summarize those technical investigations which might be of reference value to future scientific workers. In particular there was an extensive amount of acoustical research done. A summary of these investigations was published in 1974 by the Department of the Navy under the title 'Acquisition, Reduction, and Analysis of Acoustical Data,' Library of Congress catalogue number 74-600108. Not all of the useful information was reported, namely because of their highly classified nature. Since then much of that information has been downgraded and become accessible. This report completes what was not reported earlier because of classification. It summarizes the technical research by topical areas, with the sources of information being reports from government agencies supporting acoustical research efforts of the conflict. The majority of these reports are from studies of Acoustical Working Group, a committee of knowledgeable persons from civilian and government agencies responsible for performing acoustical studies relevant to the Southeast Asia conflict. Though thousands of pieces of classified literature related to acoustic, infrasonic and seismic information reported from 1966 through 1972 were researched - the period where the majority of the study efforts were done - only those documents which have some apparent usefulness in the future have been reported.
