A Novel Hydrogen Generation System

Not Available Combat system development efforts in sensors and signal processing continue to provide added capability to detect and track challenging contacts. Although these efforts have and will continue to yield results which enable the fleet to maintain acoustic and tactical superiority, improvements to the operator interface for these systems have not kept pace with the flood of raw data driven by new sensors and new processing techniques that have been made available for management and interpretation. No significant effort to reduce workload or manning has been made to date, nor has 3D data visualization been seriously examined for tactical contact fusion applications. These conditions have established a significant opportunity to improve the effectiveness of the submarine. Automation has recently entered the tactical community; however, advancements in OMI to use the automation effectively have not been introduced. Manual and automatic data correlation tools need to be provided to reduce sonar operator workload and provide Decision Support for the Officer of the Deck (OOD). This research will establish new techniques and tools for reducing sonar operator workload as well as fusing that with other sources for use by the OOD through information management to allow full exploitation of today's system improvements.
