Description

Etegent proposes to evaluate, model and propose an improved acoustic radiation force exciter for underwater use.  This research into an improved exciter will offer increased force excitation suitable for exciting underwater objects such as unexploded ordnances and mines.  Techniques to utilize additional signals and features in the response signal will be evaluated. Future work will focus on the improved reception, and automatic/assisted classification of the objects using feature-based classifiers, machine learning, and artificial intelligence.  Additionally, the research will focus on the end goal of providing a complete deployable underwater object detection system.
