Abstract:
This paper describes an acoustic super short baseline (SSBL)
tracking system capable of tracking up to twenty targets simultaneously,
accurately and at long ranges. The design of the hydrophone array is
similar to that of conventional SSBL arrays, but uses greater
inter-element separation to provide much better tracking accuracy. With
this design, the bearing and elevation of targets at ranges greater than
10 km can be tracked with an accuracy better than 0.1 degree. Some
applications of SSBL include: full ocean depth SSBL systems for ROV
navigation and tracking; towbody tracking; integrated long baseline
(LBL) and SSBL navigation; and long seismic streamer tracking. This
paper discusses the design and performance of an integrated SSBL/LBL
system that provides 0.1% slant range accuracy at ranges greater than
those achievable using currently available SSBL tracking systems
