Through the Sensor Visualization and Assimilation of Passive Sonar Data

Abstract

this proposal funds are requested to develop a suite of software algorithms to help the Navy~s fast attack submarine force assimila"te and visualize the plethora of passive acoustically sensed data that is displayed in real time while underway. Our goal is to augment their at-sea, real-time needs for both the localization of hostile assets while, at the same time, avoiding detection. We seek to advance the use of at-sea, real-time data in the context of models ofacoustic propagation and to use 3-dimensional graphical displays to inform context and formulate strategies. This includes boat location and relationship to the surrounding terrain, sea surface, and the capability of acoustic propagation models to reproduce sensed data and the visualization of radiated noise. An important aspect of all of these parameters will be an error estimate that will be computed via the implementation of standard propagation mo"dels. This will be displayed in an informative way to permit the sailor to assess not only data ikelihood but also uncertainty.
