Intelligent Awareness with Acoustic Vector Sensors towards Undersea Glider Autonomy - CRUSER
Intelligent Awareness with Acoustic Vector Sensors towards Undersea Glider Autonomy
Paul Leary, Doug Horner
Problem Statement
Current glider autonomy is low-level point following. Over-reliant on surface comms/ human supervision.
Proposed Solution:
- Integrate vector sensors onto NPS gliders
- Real-time process vector sensors for detections and bearings, multiple signals
- Build detections into high-level autonomous control feedback loop to inform intelligent navigation
- Path to networked distributed tactical surveillance
