| Abstract: |
The basic objectives of Phase I of this SBIR are to identify and define a positioning system for sonobuoys deployed, and possibly drifting, in the ocean and to develop an engineering model that can be used to analyze the expected performance of the selected approach. This proposal deals with geo-location techniques based on observing signals transmitted from the sonobuoy. |
| Benefits: |
Systems developed as a result of this research will allow sonobuoys to be used in applications where definition of the location of the buoy is important. The technologies developed herein can also be used for commercial applications such as emergency beacon geo-location, maritime traffic tracking etc. |
