Novel Acoustic Projectors for Non-Lethal Swimmer Deterrence

摘要

The goal of this project is to assess the viability of non- traditional underwater acoustic projectors for applications in which high- fidelity or complex transmitted waveforms are not required. Underwater acoustic transduction is dominated devices based on piezoelectric and magnetostrictive drives. This project is intended to assess electro-mechanically (motor) driven approaches for non-critical applications.
