GOATS'2000: Adaptive Detection, Tracking and Interrogation of VSW Seabed Targets.

摘要

LONG-TERM GOAL. Develop environmentally adaptive sonar concepts for autonomous underwater vehicle networks for detection and classification of proud and buried targets in very shallow water. OBJECTIVES. The objective of this sub-project is to develop adaptive responses of underwater vehicles acting as bistatic sonar platforms, including real-time, autonomous beamforming, detection and tracking algorithms, and adaptively modify the platform motion to optimally characterize the 3-D acoustic scattering by detected seabed targets.
