Collaborative Research: Design Study for a Portable Swath Bathymetric Imaging System for Sturgeon Class Submarines

建议没有。摘要：本提案旨在为一种舰载SWAth测深成像系统（SWABS）的设计研究提供支持，该系统将在未来前往北冰洋进行非机密科学巡航期间用于美国海军核动力潜艇。该系统将是SeaMARCTM拖曳侧视声纳系统演示设计的改编版。拖曳平台可以很容易地适应在潜艇上安装船体。拟议的12kHz侧视声纳将获得共同注册的海底测深和海底后向散射，其范围可达20公里宽。如果在1997年的巡航中安装SWABS，潜艇科学计划（SUBSCI）中剩余的三次巡航可以收集超过80万平方公里的数据，覆盖这些巡航的大部分深北极盆地操作区域。这项研究的最终结果将是一组文件，证明在分配给1997 SUBSCI巡航的潜艇上安装带状测深成像系统的可行性。

Proposal No. OPP-9622604 Principal Investigator: Coakley, B. ABSTRACT This proposal seeks support for a design study of a submarine-mounted SWAth Bathymetric Imaging System (SWABS) to be used on US Navy nuclear-powered submarines during future unclassified science cruises to the Arctic Ocean. The system would be an adaptation of a demonstrated design, the SeaMARCTM towed side-looking sonar system. Towed platforms can be readily adapted for hull mounting on a submarine. The proposed 12kHz side-looking sonar will acquire co-registered bathymetry and backscatter of the seafloor across a swath up to 20km wide. If the SWABS is installed for the 1997 cruise, the remaining three cruises in the Submarine Science program (SUBSCI) could collect more than 800,000 km2 of data, covering a large fraction of the deep Arctic Basin operational area for these cruises. The final result of this study will be a set of documents that demonstrate the feasibility of installing a swath bathymetric imaging system on the submarine assigned to the 1997 SUBSCI cruise.
