About this award

Written by GovTribe AI ·

Syracuse University was awarded a $1.23 million firm fixed-price definitive contract by the Naval Facilities Engineering Command on January 3, 2023, to improve the ability to identify calling individuals from acoustic tags under the Living Marine Resource Program. The contract, with a completion date of December 31, 2026, supports the Navy's research objectives in marine mammal monitoring and identification. The work involves developing algorithms and validation methodologies for localizing and identifying baleen and toothed whale calls from acoustic tags, including data management, database development, and field validation activities. This research supports the Navy's broader Living Marine Resources program, which focuses on understanding and protecting marine ecosystems in areas of naval operations.

The contract incorporates three primary subcontractors representing international and domestic expertise in marine mammal research. The University of St. Andrews (Scotland) leads algorithmic development for vector sensor localization of whale calls from accelerometers and sound sensors, while Aarhus Universitet (Denmark) implements algorithms for accelerometer measurements and develops simultaneous tagging tools for both toothed and baleen whales. The National Marine Sanctuary Foundation provides operational support through vessel and fuel costs for fieldwork to collect tagging datasets of humpback whales in Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary. The collaborative research team includes principal investigators Frants H. Jensen and Susan E. Parks from Syracuse University, with contributions from international experts in cetacean bioacoustics and passive acoustic monitoring technology.
