Shipboard Acoustic Source Transmission/Monitoring System
Abstract
Proposed is the fabrication of an integrated shipboard acoustic source transmission / monitoring system that will enable: (1) synthesis and transmit timing control of waveforms for two source transducers, (2) data acquisition / display of power amplifier outputs as well as the source transducer monitor hydrophone and depth sensor, (3) interfacing with a shipboard communication node for networking with similar nodes attached to offboard receiving arrays, and (4) experiment situational awareness utilizing GPS and local shipAIS data for source tow planning and experiment evolution monitoring. The system will facilitate the collection of high spatial resolution acoustic data for sea surface / seabed scattering, sub-bottom geoacoustic inversion, and longer-range deep-water propagationresearch. The integrated system will replace a previous generation of quasi-independent systems that have been used successfully over the last 18 years in over 18 experiments. This abstract is publicly releasable.
