Abstract

Subsequent Phase II Proposal, Extension of Phase II contract N00014-12-C-0034We propose to continue our existing work to develop reliable magnetometers with sensitivity in the range 1--10 pT/Hz^- and unit cost of $2,000 ready for commercial use. The design uses widely-available and low cost components with a design for easy assembly. With its small size, low cost and low power consumption, this system is ideally suited for use on small, disposable UAVs launched through a standard sonobuoy tube. Disposable UAVs may be deployed from a larger high altitude platform and allowed to fly closer to the ocean, providing the maximum possible magnetic signal from underwater targets.
