The Ocean Acoustics (Code 321OA) and Physical Oceanography (Code 322PO) programs of the Office of Naval Research (ONR) received approval to commence a five-year Departmental Research Initiative (DRI) titled "Quantifying, Predicting and Exploiting Uncertainty." Building on discoveries made over the previous five years in probabilistic sonar performance prediction, integrated ocean-acoustic modeling, multidisciplinary data assimilation, ocean predictability, multi-scale custom climatologies and autonomous underwater platforms, the new DRI will integrate these discoveries to improve performance prediction and reduce sonar detection uncertainties. To demonstrate how the components fit together and how a future end-to-end system could work in support of fleet exercises, the DRI specifically calls for a demonstration experiment in the southern East China Sea and the oceanographically connected Northern Philippine Sea in FY09. » Read more.
