Development of an Acoustic Propagation Simulator for Shallow Water Environments
Unmanned systems and off-board sensors are becoming a critical part of the Canadian Forces toolbox to keep troops out of harm's way. Even though such systems have gained in autonomy, they still have limited capabilities for collaborating among themselves and with other fixed or mobile assets. One particular area where significant progress is needed is that of underwater sensor networks. The main impediment to such progress relates to the unreliable nature of underwater acoustic communications. The purpose of this contract is to perform research leading to the development of an acoustic propagation simulator specific to shallow water environments.
This contract has the following objectives: (a) Investigation of the impact of a layered water current profile on impulse responses, Doppler spreads and delay spreads. An assessment of the impact of a layered water current profile compared to other factors, including sea-surface roughness, shall be performed for a limited number of shallow water environments. (b) If a significant impact results from the presence of a layered water current profile, then a physics-based range-dependent ray-tracing simulator shall be developed and shall incorporate such a layered water current profile. The simulator shall also incorporate the effects of sea-surface roughness. The impact of a partial, complete and rough underwater-surface ice covers should also be investigated, if possible. (c) Generation and characterization of acoustic channel impulse responses, Doppler spreads and delay spreads in response to various shallow water environmental and communication conditions. (d) Development of front and back ends of the range-dependent ray-tracing simulator so that the propagation of complex broadband acoustic signals can be simulated. If possible, a hardware-in-the-loop bench system should be built and include the range-dependent simulator, the front and back ends, as well as hardware provided by the Project Authority. The hardware-in-the-loop bench should operate as an overall system and be capable of taking any user-defined message as an input.
