Acoustic Intercept Systems: Elevating UUV situational awareness
- Directional, wideband acoustic intercept systems provide UUVs with the identity and bearing of nearby emitters, while recording all channel data for more in-depth lab analysis.
- Emitters can include vocalizing fish and marine mammals, acoustic modems, search sonars, acoustic navigation aids, fish finders, and pingers.
- AIS capability can be added to UUVs at a reasonable cost while maintaining low power consumption and platform hydrodynamics.
