Analysis and Modeling of Multistatic Clutter and Reverberation and Support for the FORA

摘要: Abstract : The long-term goals of this effort are to: Assess capability directional arrays for inversion and reverberation studies Characterize acoustic clutter in a manner that will lead to its mitigation Improve geo-acoustic parameter extraction from data Construct suitable high fidelity scattering models model/data comparison Operate maintain the Five Octave Research Array (FORA) ONR-OA Help plan, participate in, analyze GULFEX12 pilot TREX13 Reverberation Scattering Experiments 2014/2015 Bottom Characterization Experiments. PI s technical objectives experiments characterize model multistatic bottom demonstrate inverse methods on data. Continue improvement validation new range-dependent (a more accurate forward inversion) automated technique developed by D. Ellis DRDC. Modeling Workshop follow-on activities. Use nearfield triplet extract information upcoming ONR fold it into schemes using (together with C. Holland). investigations optimum processing enhance quality extracted investigate statistical differences between sonar sea interface bio-clutter masses seen select sets.
