Description
Intelligent Fiber Optic Systems Corporation (IFOS) and Stanford University (SU) intend to demonstrate a 150 meter long, 12-sensor depth insensitive pressure sensor array. The overall goal of this SBIR project is to develop an innovative, passive, low-power array of acoustic pressure and vector sensors that can operate effectively across all ocean depths to detect, classify, and localize low-level signals. The focus is on optical sensor technology, low-power array sensor optical telemetry, and the interrogator/demodulator. The proposed technology will have application to submarine detection in deep (> 6 kilometer) deployments and will be miniaturized for implementation in A-size sonobuoys.
