Assessing Realism and Uncertainties in Navy Decision Aids
Abstract
The main objectives of the project are: 1) Develop method to characterize the environment and the associated uncertainties using a" single fixed hydrophone, sources of opportunity, and Bayesian inversion scheme; 2) Formulate and solve the previous problem within a probabilistic ML framework and assess the ML usefulness; 3) Extend the previous developments to an AUV context (moving receiver and limited environmental awareness); 4) Train a MIT/WHOI Joint Program student in both acoustics and ML; 5) Conduct an AUV sea trial to validate the proposed methods. To reach the objectives, the project is divided into 5 technical tasks: data analysis (task 1), development of ML methods (task 2), development of signal processing method (task 3), teaching (task 4) and realization of a field ex"periment (task 5).
