Autonomous Environmental Sensor Performance Prediction Tool for Multi-Static Active and Passive Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) Systems

The SSC/GDIT team will develop a self-updating tactical decision aid for the Air ASW community that will generate sensor performance predictions and recommend optimized operational parameters, built on a new service-oriented architecture (SOA) that can autonomously reach out across the internet to retrieve the most current environmental predictions and in-situ measurements. This solution is called the Autonomous Multi-static Performance Optimization and Recommendation Tool, or AMPORT, and provides a clean solution to addressing the needs of this project.SSC will leverage our Multi-Static Sonar Performance Model (MSPM), which is currently being used for P-8A Increment 3 system studies, to model the current acoustic environment and recommend optimum configurations for sonobuoy spacing, operating depth, ping plan strategies, and pulse settings for a multiplicity of op-areas and threats.
