JPAnalytics proposes a methodology to develop the Compact Directional Acoustic Source (CDAS) for use on UUVs. The CDAS will enable underwater acoustic communications nodes to improve network communications performance by reducing Multiaccess Interference (MAI) in communications networks, improve single link communications performance by reducing multipath interference that manifests itself as Intersymbol Interference (ISI) and reduce the counterdetection vulnerability of the communications system thus improving the clandestine communications capability of the system. The proposed method will be used to develop candidate solutions in three classes of CDAS devices. Trade studies will be conducted using JPAnalytics analysis tools to optimize device parametersin each of the device classes.
