Tender Description

Novel methods to improve the automated detection and tracking of passive acoustic contacts.

This R&D activity seeks to improve and ideally automate the passive acoustic localisation (range and bearing) of contacts from a moving host including low signal to noise ratio scenarios. The goals include identifying novel methods to reduce the time from sensor to ear, increase the sensitivity of detection, and improve the accuracy of localisation.

The R&D should consider different levels of background noise, the changing propagation environment, and other effects pertaining to host vessel motion.
