Northeastern University was awarded a $1,279,032 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Ocean Sciences under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) to upgrade and test the Passive Ocean Acoustic Waveguide Remote Sensing (POAWRS) system. POAWRS is a 160-element coherent hydrophone array technology developed for long-range directional sensing and real-time detection, localization, and mapping of various ocean sound sources over continental shelf scales. Under this award, Northeastern University will conduct mechanical upgrades to the hydrophone array hardware to enhance robustness for deployment and optimize the array processing and analysis software for real-time applications. They will also use the funding to test operational readiness of the upgraded POAWRS system. The award supports the Geosciences program's goal of expanding fundamental knowledge and understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic research in ocean sciences.
