Underwater Acoustic Communication Systems
General Dynamics Applied Physical Sciences designs and implements communication, and command and control solutions that exploit acoustic methods to provide localization, image exfiltration, and in-stride command capabilities. We specialize in wireless underwater acoustic communication systems and air/water gateway systems for Unmanned Undersea Vehicles and Undersea Networks. Our Acoustic Communications systems typically incorporate arrays to provide positioning information to surface and subsurface systems.
Being able to communicate with your manned and unmanned undersea vessels is critical, especially for maritime security defense operations. But this is often easier said than done. Underwater communication is often very difficult for a number of reasons, including multi-path propagation, small available bandwidth, time variations of the channel, and strong signal attenuation.
Applied Physical Sciences offers a solution to your undersea communication struggles in the form of an acoustic and wireless underwater communication system. This system has a variety of practical applications and is used for military, commercial, and scientific activities.
