Software Defined Acoustic Modem Evaluation (Navy/USMC)
Abstract
This project comparatively tests commercial software-defined radios in underwater acoustic environments. This technology enables interoperable, reliable, and secure communication between surface and subsurface platforms and sensors. Phase I testing was completed in FY 2022, Phase II in-water testing completed in 1Q FY 2023, and the Phase III final demonstration was conducted in 2Q FY 2023. The final test and closeout reports are expected to complete in 3/4Q FY 2023. This project continued in FY 2023 with FY 2022 funding. This technology will transition to Naval Undersea Warfare Center, Newport Division, for inclusion in follow-on large-scale prototype undersea network demonstration programs and additional evaluation.
