Active sonar reverberation has often been observed to have probability tails heavier than the traditionally assumed Rayleigh distribution. Many other physics-based and phenomenological statistical models have been proposed to represent such observed reverberation, a few of which have natural target models. One that has shown promise in having a minimal parameterization yet a broad enough scope to adequately represent a wide variety of observed non-Rayleigh reverberation is McDaniel's (1990) model. In this paper a statistical model is developed for a non-fluctuating target in McDaniel's reverberation exploiting the non-central gamma distribution. The probability density function and cumulative distribution function are derived and used to determine likelihood ratio and locally optimal detector non-linearities and also theoretical receiver operating characteristic curves.

The U.S. Navy is developing deployable networks of autonomous sensors, sources, and vehicles for littoral operations. Reliable and secure wireless acoustic communication among network nodes is essential for this concept to be viable, and depends critically on the modem and acoustic transducer. A transducer with azimuthal directivity will reduce power budget and vulnerability to intercept, increasing battery operated lifetime, signal-to-noise ratio, and asynchronous multi-user transmission channel accessibility. To gain these advantages requires innovative solutions to such problems as increased driver electronics complexity, and sensitivity to mechanical transducer movement. This paper reports on research efforts that involved modeling and dynamic analysis of a piezopolymer-based transducer array, along with development, testing, and analysis of a low cost microcontroller-based orientation sensor system. A new auto-calibration algorithm significantly improves the precision of the low-cost sensor elements.

Powerful PCs have made possible the efficient use of sophisticated two- and three-dimensional modeling techniques that were previously available to modelers only in a research environment. Applied Science Associates, Inc. has been very active in the development of such models in the PC environment. This effort includes application of hydrodynamics, pollutant transport and water quality models to specific environmental problems in Narragansett Bay. They have been used to simulate the effects of combined sewer overflows in the Providence River and upper Narragansett Bay; thermal effluent in Mt. Hope Bay from the Brayton Point Station electrical generating facility; and dredging and dredged material disposal operations; among others. These examples highlight what the authors have learned about bay circulation and pollutant transport and the use of numerical modeling to help assess the environmental conditions in the bay today and in the future.

We have devised a new generalized likelihood ratio test for detecting a signal in unknown, strong non-Gaussian low rank interference plus white Gaussian noise which needs no knowledge of the non-Gaussian distribution. From perturbation expansions of the test statistic, we establish the connection of the proposed GLRT detector to the UMPI test and show that it is approximately CFAR. Computer simulations indicate that the new detector significantly outperforms traditional adaptive methods in non-Gaussian interference.

In 1997, the Geological Survey of Canada (Atlantic) conducted a high-resolution marine geophysical survey in the nearshore off southwestern Sri Lanka to determine the distribution, depositional environment and estimated volumes of granular sediment. The survey was the first step to identifying economic concentrations of heavy minerals. Geophysical equipment included a Simrad sidescan sonar system, an IKB Seistec subbottom profiler, and a Knudsen Engineering Ltd., 320M echo sounder. Sixty-eight grab samples provided selective ground truth of the interpreted seabed units. Analysis of the geophysical data quantified the thickness and volume of recoverable granular sediments. Eleven potential granular resource sites were identified. Estimated sediment volumes ranged from 2/spl times/10/sup 6/ m/sup 3/ to more than 120/spl times/10/sup 6/ m/sup 3/. Monazite concentrations as high as 1.1% were estimated based on gamma ray spectrometry analysis. No information exists on the subsurface concentration of heavy minerals. The 1997 marine geophysical results enabled development of a generalized model of the geomorphology and sediment distribution. Understanding the mechanisms of modern concentration of heavy mineral sands were used to develop hypotheses of emplacement during the geological evolution of the inner shelf. The model assists in identifying resource areas with the highest prospects for economic heavy mineral reserves.

The design, fabrication, and acoustic calibration of a new 1-3 piezocomposite based U.S. Navy standard (USRD-F82) is presented. The F82 dual array/parametric mode projector may be used as a reciprocal linear transducer, or may be used to exploit the non-linear properties of the water to produce highly directional acoustic beams (4 to 2 deg.) at relatively low frequencies (5 to 60 kHz respectively). As a result of its wide bandwidth, a broad range of primary as well as secondary frequencies of operation are possible. In the linear mode of operation the transducer provides two separate arrays to be addressed topside for either transmit or receive applications. The two circular apertures are centered on the acoustic axis and have active diameters of 22.8 cm (9-inches) and 5.1 cm (2-inches). The smaller array aperture could be used to obtain less directional acoustic beams at relative high frequencies. Due to the absence of air filled pressure release components the transducer will operate over most ocean pressures and temperatures. A general description of the 1-3 piezocomposite based transducer configuration, and measured performance are presented.

A laboratory model of a short pathlength transmissometer with an in situ calibration facility was built to demonstrate the feasibility of high precision attenuation coefficient measurements at short pathlength even in clear waters. The high precision is enabled by the in situ calibration by variation of pathlength which is needed to overcome errors introduced by various sources such as window staining due to biofouling, multiple reflections at the glass-water interfaces and changes in refractive index of the medium. The laboratory model consists of a narrow bandwidth light source (LED) with a peak wavelength of 650 nm and beamforming optics, a moveable prism for retroreflection of the probe beam and receiving optics with a PIN-photodiode detector and transimpedance amplifier. With this setup a short term precision of the order of 10/sup -4/ m/sup -1/ was achieved at a constant pathlength of 54.7 mm. Drifts on longer terms, including staining of the instrument windows, can be compensated by the in situ calibration which showed a repeatability in the order of 10/sup -3/ m/sup -1/.

Many useful ocean engineering systems, such as autonomous oceanographic sampling networks (AOSNs) are actually systems of systems. Such systems are complex and require simulation during design and development. However, adequately simulating such systems is also difficult. The authors have developed an approach to multi-fidelity simulation that allows systems of systems to be simulated at several points along the spectrum from high-level, low-fidelity to low-level, high-fidelity simulation. They have implemented this approach a simulator for the CoDA (Cooperative Distributed AOSN control) project. Such an approach provides simulation support throughout the lifetime of the project, from design through proof-of-concept and beyond.

Ocean mapping technology is becoming an increasingly important tool in the full range of ocean-related enterprise. Moving well beyond its initial base in hydrographic surveying and nautical charting, ocean mapping has become a critical component of offshore oil exploration and development, submarine cable routing and installation, and geologic and essential fish habitat mapping. The technology of ocean mapping has blossomed rapidly in the past decade with the introduction of multibeam sonar, high-resolution side scan sonar, airborne lidar bathymeters, and laser line scan recorders. The next decade will likely see increased demand for ocean mapping data and continued demand for even more sophisticated ocean mapping technology. In response to this increased demand for ocean mapping data and the increasing complexity of ocean mapping technology, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the University of New Hampshire (UNH) have established the complementary Joint Hydrographic Center (JHC) and Center for Coastal and Ocean Mapping (C-COM). The JHC is a NOAA/UNH partnership, and C-COM is a University organization with growing private sector participation. To provide NOAA and other program sponsors with the technology needed to meet their hydrographic and ocean mapping responsibilities, JHC and C-COM have developed a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary program of research. The research program of the Centers has begun with principal themes encompassing ocean and electrical engineering, computer science, and earth science. Research topics will focus on sonar system capabilities and limitations; data processing, visualization, and presentation; seafloor characterization; and other new applications of seafloor mapping technology and data.

Riser protection nets (RPN) for offshore oil production platforms present some very interesting design considerations. These nets are stretched between the columns of the platform to arrest encroaching supply vessels or other floating objects and to prevent them from striking the risers. Of particular interest is the application of relatively new types of synthetic fiber rope that is the main component of the net. This paper focuses on the role played in the design by these ropes but also includes other design considerations.
