Imaging Instrumentation System

DBV Technology, LLC proposes to design, build, integrate and test an array of undersea acoustic instruments capable of scoring multiple projectiles impacting the ocean surface closely spaced in both position and time using algorithms developed during Phase I. A 48 month period of performance is proposed consisting of one 12 month base period, with three subsequent 12 month options. Instrument operation and functionality will first be proven in an Engineering Development Test utilizing impulsive sources as surrogates for projectile impacts in a deep water environment representative of missile test areas. Using the data collected during this test, the impact detection and localization algorithms will then be demonstrated. The advantage of this approach is that the instruments can be tested without any disruption to missile test operations and the signal processing and localization algorithms can be demonstrated with unclassified data.
