Exploitation of Frequency Structure in High Duty Cycle (HDC) Data
Abstract
Funding is provided to investigate exploition of the active bistatic invariance principle with the intent of incorporating this structure into advanced signal and information processing algorithms to improve ASW DCL performance of high duty cycle active sonar systems. Abstract for “Exploitation of Frequency Structure in High Duty Cycle (HDC) Data” The long-term goal of the proposed research is to improve the capability and robustness of processing and tracking algorithms for multi-static active sonar systems with a physics-based processing technique. Successful completion of this project will produce enhanced tracker performance in terms of track accuracy, computational performance, and reverberation mitigation. The major scientific objective for this research is to exploit the active bistatic invariance principle with the intent of incorporating this structure into advanced signal processing algorithms (such as improved tracking - but also potentially matched filtering and beamforming). A specific focus of this research is the unique processing opportunities available with High Duty Cycle (HDC) pulses through exploiting the continuous transmission and including propagation physics in a method that is robust to details of the propagation environment. Successful completion of this research activity will provide algorithms that could be incorporated in the Navy HDC processing chain to improve target detection, tracking, and classification.
