Description
Triton Systems will develop develop enabling technologies that can collect a broad spectrum of ocean acoustic data that allows for large scale spatial and temporal research on ambient sources of sound and biologics such as whales and dolphins. Passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) is a proven means of detecting, classifying, and localizing vocally active marine mammals, as well as a number of fish species. Unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs) are the most effective platform type to cover large spatial and temporal scales, with an endurance of three months or greater. Triton proposes the development of cost-effective PAM technologies (less than $100K) capable of sampling up to 200 kHz, deployed on UUVs capable of recording and archiving acoustic time-series data, running near real-time acoustic detectors and classifiers capable of transmitting detection reports via remote satellite link.
