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
