Workshop on Acoustic Navigation and Communications in Arctic Observing Systems

未来对北冰洋的调查肯定会包括滑翔机和自主水下航行器，导航和通信显然是关键问题。 举办一次研讨会，讨论如何在导航和通信中使用声学的基本问题，是及时和必要的。 在这次研讨会上，将审查低频声学的最新技术，并将其应用于冰层覆盖环境的多层导航和遥测系统的设计。

Future investigations of the Arctic Ocean will certainly include gliders and autonomous underwater vehicles, for which navigation and communication are obviously key issues. It is both timely and necessary that a workshop be held to address fundamental issues of how acoustics can be employed in navigation and communication. In this workshop, the current state of the art in low frequency acoustics will be reviewed, and applied to the design of a multi-tiered navigation and telemetry system for ice covered environments.
