Overview: ÌýThe project is to expand the Unmanned Underwater Vehicles (UUVs) capabilities through artificial intelligence to static undersea sensors and/or dynamic undersea groups. The proposed research is to improve the autonomous perception and data fusion in an effort to generate world models from individual sensing, while localizing the sensors and UUV swarm within the model. This project is in collaboration with South Dakota School of Mines and Technology and NUWC Keyport Division.

Overview: ÌýThe researchers aim at advancing significantly (five-fold in precision) the state of the art in 3D passive undersea acoustic localization by providing novel algorithmic solutions to the problem of estimating the angle of arrival of undersea propagating signals in the presence of potentially faulty measurements. The project pursues a paradigm shift in how signal Direction-of-Arrival (DoA) estimation is carried out over undersea acoustic links by deviating from the familiar L2-norm-subspace decomposition theory and its variants and considering for the first time L1-norm signal subspace decomposition. The algorithms will be embedded in in-house developed programmable underwater acoustic modems to form an experimental four-node network for evaluation and demonstration.
