Requirement Information

The U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), Code 7130 requires mid-frequency acoustic projectors to conduct research for both internal programs and external sponsors. The research is critical to advance our ocean acoustics observations and undersea systems research. This mid-frequency band occurs at the crucial intersection of propagation range and spatial resolution, enabling the detection of acoustic signatures of fronts, mixing layers, internal waves, and sub-mesoscale eddies. This investment unlocks key capabilities for demonstrating new approaches to building world models for ocean sensing networks, pioneering high-resolution ocean acoustic tomography, and establishing critical baselines for forecasting sensor performance in dynamic environments like the

Arctic
