Equipment for Next Generation Doppler Acoustic Research
Abstract
As part of a crucial reinvestment in University-based Doppler sonar capability, we propose to undertake three Doppler sonar develop"ments that build on past efforts and will transition key expertise from PI Pinkel and engineer Goldin to our research group~s less senior PIs and engineers. The tasks, each of which will result in a novel Doppler sonar capability, are i) implementation of beam steering on the existing Revelle Hydrographic Sonar System (HDSS), greatly improving elimination of surface wave effects from measured velocities; ii) construction of a facility enabling potting, gluing and mounting of a planar phased-array Doppler sonar system; and iii) implementation and testing of a proof-of-concept bistatic 1-MHz Doppler systemthat will allow higher precision than monostati"c systems over a ~40-m range.
