Acoustic Signatures

Research to evaluate, model, analyse and manipulate underwater acoustic signatures of all types of marine craft, and torpedo decoys.
Also includes work to detect and classify targets, mine threat analysis, and to optimise processing techniques.
Also includes work to understand acoustic echo characteristics of target ships and submarines to be employed in own sonar, torpedo and fuzing systems.
Also includes work to develop and improve measurement techniques for underwater signatures, both active and passive.
Also includes work to understand acoustic signature detection of helicopters including modelling to predict rotor noise and its propagation through the environment.
Also includes work on land-based systems acoustic signatures, particularly on the application of passive and active acoustic signature control to land equipment.
Also includes work to understand laser generated acoustic waves.
Also includes work to understand acoustic signature control in the context of gas turbines, and reciprocating/rotary engines.
