Extended Intruder Detection to Counter Advanced Underwater Threats in Ports and Harbors

摘要

Hardware and systems concepts have been developed to significantly reduce response times for countering underwater threats to U. S. military and government assets and shoreline facilities. This paper presents a conceptual design of a networked multistatic sonar system of proliferated ultralow-cost active acoustic beacons based on Starmark's demonstrated patent-pending high-power, low-voltage impact transmitters.
