Abstract:

The long-term goal of the REVEAL project is to develop a signal processing structure that exploits available knowledge of the environment, including uncertainty, to target detection and classification. The research is directed toward passive sonar, continuous wave CW and broadband signals, shallow and deep water operation, both platform-mounted and distributed systems, and frequencies below 1 kHz.
