Abstract:

This Semiannual Technical Summary reports work in the Distributed Sensor Networks program for the period 1 April through 30 September 1980. Progress related to development and deployment of test-bed hardware and software, including deployment of three test-bed nodes, is described. A complete algorithm chain from raw data to aircraft locations, employing two acoustic arrays, has been developed and demonstrated experimentally using data collected from test-bed nodes. A strawman design for a new multiple microprocessor test- bed node computer is presented. Also described is progress in the design and development of a real-time network kernel for the DSN test bed in general, and the new processor in particular.
