Undersea Warfighting Development Center Leadership Visits NUWC Division Newport
problems and evaluating capabilities in the undersea battle space. This work is performed in collaboration with UWDC’s Submarine Aggressor Squadron (AGGRON).A tour of the Weapons Analysis Facility (WAF) Lab followed. The facility is used for critical tasking in torpedo software development, software integration into torpedo weapon systems, simulation and analysis of both in-water and simulated weapon runs.The group also met with members of the USW Electromagnetic Systems Department, for the latest developments in communications and electronic warfare, as the U.S. Navy’s principal research,

.“MER-Subsea is always looking for new technology to bring to our clients across the Middle East and the GeoPulse 2 is a fantastic product that will have great demand across the region,” added Akram Ali, Managing Director of MER-Subsea.GeoAcoustis Launches New Sub-Bottom Profiler and Software Integration CapabilitiesGeoPulse 2 represents a new generation of GeoAcoustics sub-bottom profiling technology. It reaches into deeper waters for the acquisition of essential data for development and operation of offshore wind farms and similar projects.Building upon the legacy of its predecessors, GeoPulse
GeoAcoustis Launches New Sub-Bottom Profiler and Software Integration Capabilities
Hydroacoustic sensor technology developer GeoAcoustics has launched the GeoPulse 2 Sub-Bottom Profiler, while also announcing the new integration between GeoPulse Compact and Geo-Suite seismic acquisition software.Designed for diverse applications including pipeline detection, geological surveys, dredging surveys, environmental assessments, and buried object detection, GeoPulse 2 is a highly versatile tool built on 40 years of hydroacoustic technology development by GeoAcoustics.GeoPulse 2 is able to reach into deeper waters for the acquisition of essential data for the development and operation of
New Tech Frontiers for Ocean Gliders
to mimic machinery noise, and tracked AIS so they could correlate it with acoustic data from the hydrophones and the glider’s location data.Burnett says one of the goals was real-time processing to get real-time information about what’s in the water. This meant signal processing and software integration into the glider, but, with the longer array, also improving the power supply to reduce noise.“We were able to correlate with AIS and could see a cargo vessel passing within 2.45nm of the array,” says Burnett. “We were also able to collect biological data. We observed a pod
