Student Research in Support of Informed Environmental Estimation
Abstract
This project seeks to develop new technologies for naval applications while training the next generation of researchers. To this end, we propose four student projects. These students will work directly with the Task Force Ocean (TFO) team at Applied Research Laboratories, The University of Texas at Austin (ARL:UT), and they will be exposed to collaborations with entities such as NAVO, NRL, and OPNAV. The projects are designed to be publicly releasable and to probe the future of naval research. Furthermore, these projects will develop new expertise at ARL:UT for ONR#s Task Force Ocean effort in physical oceanography, ambient noise, and high-fidelity modeling while benefitting from our existing strong expertise ocean acoustics and signal processing. The three existing projects are: 1) Ocean circulation model assimilation, 2) Predicting low frequency noise from bubble clouds generated by wind-driven breaking waves, and 3) High fidelity bottom scattering simulations. A fourth student project complimentary to ongoing TFO research at ARL:UT willalso be supported by this grant. Each of these projects is also designed to benefit from and support tasks within the larger ARL:UTeffort as described in our related planning letter, Improved Sonar Performance using Informed Environmental Estimation.
