Ocean surface vehicles (OSV) for maritime security applications - The PERSEUS project

Abstract

In order to cover the specific technical requirements by PERSEUS, and based on the Wave Glider modular features and capabilities, a Passive Acoustic Module (PAM) has been specifically attached as part of the glider payload. The proposed technical solution includes to a towed array of hydrophones (towfish), attached to the submerged module. The acoustic signatures detected will be real-time provided to glider pilot. Once the acoustic signature detected, it could be tracked continuously in order to proceed with decision making by the end-user.
