| Abstract: |
Develop and demonstrate an innovative compact airborne acoustic source that can be flown on the Fire Scout Vertical Takeoff and Landing Tactical Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (VTUAV) for use as an insonification device. Innovative approaches are sought to develop an acoustic source capable of achieving sound pressure levels (SPLs) approaching 170 dB plus equivalency (as referenced to 20 micro Pascal at 1 meter) in order to provide adequate SPLs at ground-level when flying at altitudes up to 1000 feet. |
| Benefits: |
The ability to enhance detection of buried objects would be extremely useful for humanitarian de-mining, IED detection, general buried object detection, detection of buried pipelines and cables, detection of buried items in natural disaster assessment, and advancement of hailing devices. |
