Doppler detection for ASW barrier with maritime unmanned systems
article
Anti-submarine warfare (ASW) is a critical capability for navies around the world. One promising approach to enhancing ASW is the use of unmanned maritime systems, which can provide forward-deployed detection capacity and augment manned ASW capabilities. In this ongoing study, researchers from the Netherlands' TNO and DMO are investigating the practicality of using maritime unmanned systems for ASW in a barrier-type scenario. The study focuses on the use of passive and active sonar for detection, with particular attention to the use of Doppler-sensitive pulses for active sonar. While the detection distance against submarines is small for passive sonar, active sonar detection with Doppler-sensitive pulses concepts seem promising. This has been demonstrated by modelling as well as by experimentation in 2021 and 2022.
