Research abstract
Acoustic scoring systems based upon time difference of arrival (TDOA) have long been used to score in near-real-time the drop accuracy of precision munitions in the open ocean. These systems work well when they are scoring a single impact but do not have the capability to discriminate multiple and near simultaneous impacts. Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI) proposes to develop a High Precision System for Scoring Multiple Simultaneous Water Impacts (HPSS) by fusing data from multiple sensor sources. Fusing multiple sensor sources reduces the total number of potential solutions evaluated and helps eliminates “phantom sources”. In addition, the fused sensor approach minimizes the probability that an impact falls into a region where the impact is either shaded or of indeterminate position.
