Description
In this SBIR project Wagner Associates will develop Passive sonobuoy Association, Classification, and localization (PAC) algorithms to maximize the effectiveness of current and emerging passive sonobuoy patterns and to minimize operator task load when monitoring these fields. In particular, we will develop innovative and sophisticated contact association algorithms to associate passive sonobuoy lines-of-bearing (LOBs) that are not obtained simultaneously; since this will be the dominant case when operating against diesel submarines with very short detection ranges, especially in irregular and highly variable littoral environments. In this project we will leverage our extensive prior work developing and evaluating U.S. Navy ASW data fusion systems.
