Marine Acoustics. Inc. (MAI), proposes applying existing passive acoustic localization technology originally developed for marine mammal tracking to submarine sonar applications. The commercial scientific processor technology developed by MAI will be adapted for integration into a submarine combat… More

Marine Acoustics, Inc., proposes applying the team's operational expertise and tactical decision aid (TDA) technology to the development of a TDA that innovatively applies tactical oceanography principles to the employment of multistatic ASW assets. The foundation of the TDA module architecture… More

Federal regulations require that USAF supersonic, subsonic and launch vehicle flight operations be assessed as to possible effects to the near-shore environment. Current modeling capability for this topic is lacking in key areas: reliability of results, environmental assessment requirements, field… More

There are now 300 languages spoken in the United States and millions of Americans travel abroad each year to foreign countries. Public service officials, military personnel, educators and medical professionals need to be able to communicate with anever-increasing non-English speaking population. … More

Underwater acoustic modeling plays an essential role in the design, development, test, and operation of sonar systems. Active acoustic clutter can increase the sonar false alert rate or equivalently decrease the probability of detection/classification,and is a key issue in the development and… More

The DARPA Phraselator is a, multilingual phrase translation system. The Phraselator is a rugged, weather resistant, voice-to-voice, translation device with superior audio input and output. It is available to both military and industrial users and more than 2,000 Phraselators have been manufactured… More

Marine Acoustics, Inc., will design and develop a sonar screening, detection, and classification system using a MATLAB-based format. Existing software components such as a cepstrum-based screener and a wavelet-based signal processing algorithm, as well as new components to be designed, will be… More

Existing OAML-approved active acoustic models are under continuous evolution to take advantage of new theoretical and numerical developments and more powerful computational resources. These models are supported by OAML-approved environmental databases that are also constantly updated to accommodate… More

The overall objective of this SBIR proposal is the development of a software-based tool or database known as the Marine Assessment, Decision, and Planning Tool (MADPT) for Protected Species. Knowledge about federally protected species such as fishes, marine mammals, sea turtles, and invertebrates… More

The ultimate objective of this SBIR project is the development of a software-based tool that provides environmental planners, synthetic trainers, and scientific researchers with access to scientific data on marine species. Ready access to pertinent information about a marine species, such as… More
