OF TRANSIENT ACOUSTIC DISTURBANCES (EVENTS)

PRESEARCH INCORPORATED PROPOSES TO RESEARCH AND DESIGN A MAN-MACHINE INTERFACE (MMI) CONCEPT FOR A TRANSIENT ACOUSTIC DETECTION MONITOR (TADM). THIS RESEARCH WILL EVALUATE PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT, ACOUSTIC SYSTEM IMPLEMENTATION EXPERIENCE, DECISION-MAKING PROTOCOLS FOR CLASSIFYING TRANSIENT ACOUSTIC EVENTS, AND STATE-OF-THE-ART ADVANCES IN SIGNAL PROCESSING ALGORITHMS. THE MMI DESIGN WILL PROVIDE VISUAL AND AUDITORY DISPLAYS AND CONTROLS OF TRANSIENT ACOUSTIC DISTURBANCES. THESE DISPLAYS WILL BE A HUMAN-ENGINEERED REPRESENTATION AIMED AT ENHANCING OPERATOR PERFORMANCE. THIS RESEARCH EFFORT WILL COMBINE PRESEARCH'S HUMAN PERFORMANCE ENGINEERING EXPERTISE WITH OUR ON-GOING INDEPENDENT RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT (IR&D) IN ACOUSTIC SIGNAL PROCESSING.
