Description
This Phase 1 SBIR will design, develop, and test a software defined acoustic communications system with an open-source hardware platform, software architecture, and integrated development environment enabling end-users to operate in any subsea operational environment. This will be accomplished through 1) development of electromechanical and computing platforms and transducers that span from below 10Hz to over 10MHz at the required sound pressure levels 2) design, prototyping and testing small form-factor, smart, software-defined transducers with user-programmable beampatterns and transmit/receive sensitivity, and 3) prototyping and testing equalization/beamforming, open-source modulation/keying methods, and creation of an open-source software integrated development environment interface to the modem architecture.
