The Naval Postgraduate School Ocean Acoustic Observatory: Past experiences and current proposition.

The U.S. Navy’s integrated undersea surveillance system (IUSS) consists of a fixed component, the sound surveillance system (SOSUS), and a mobile component, the surveillance towed array sensor system (SURTASS). Access to these systems is being granted to researchers who possess the proper security clearance (i.e., SECRET), and whose work can be accommodated within the framework of the system’s primary mission of national defense. Working with IUSS, progress has been achieved in studies of whale migration (WHALES ’93 Experiment) and the remote detection of subsurface geophysical events (NOAA VENTS Program). Future uses include a role in the acoustic thermometry of ocean climate (ATOC) Experiment. The mechanics of gaining access to and working within the IUSS are discussed.

John Robert Neighbours, emeritus professor of physics at the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) in Monterey, California, died of an inoperable brain tumor on 16 September 2000 in his Monterey home.Born on 22 November 1924 in Cleveland, Ohio, John served as a US Army photographer in the Pacific theater at the end of World War II. He was among the first US soldiers to enter Nagasaki after it had been devastated by “Fat Man,” the second atomic bomb used in war. After serving almost three years in the Army, he entered the Case Institute of Technology, where he earned three degrees in physics: a BS in 1949, MS in 1951, and PhD in 1953.Immediately after graduation, John served for two years as an assistant professor of physics at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. He joined the scientific laboratory of Ford Motor Co in 1956 as a senior research scientist. In 1959, he became an associate professor of physics at the NPS, which had recently relocated from Annapolis, Maryland, to Monterey. John spent the remainder of his career with the school.John’s physics interests were eclectic: His earlier work (until the 1970s) was in solid-state physics and the properties of materials, but he also was active in the fields of phase transitions, cryogenics, elastic-wave propagation, and energy flow in anisotropic media. Of specific interest to him was that ultrasonic waves propagating in various directions in a single crystal yielded the various elastic constants of the material. In the 1950s and 1960s, John, Charles S. Smith, George A. Alers, and Frank H. Featherston conducted their earliest measurements of the elastic constants of nickel and copper. Later, their measurements included silver, gold, and zinc. The measurements were generalized to high pressures and lower temperatures. John supervised the work of Featherston, who received the first physics PhD granted by the NPS in 1963.Maintaining the NPS as his primary affiliation, John also was the chairman of the physics department at Colorado State University from 1969 to 1970 and a visiting scientist at the Naval Research Laboratory in Washington, DC, periodically during the 1970s. In the early 1970s, John edited two classified editions of Handbook of Laser Effects for the US Navy. His later work involved research in the generation of coherent radiation with relativistic electron beams. John worked as a liaison scientist with the London branch of the Office of Naval Research from 1980 to 1981. During his career, he also consulted for TRW Inc; Sandia Corp (now Sandia National Laboratories); Boeing Research Laboratory; and several Navy laboratories. With us (Buskirk and Maruyama), John predicted and measured microwave Cerenkov radiation as a diffraction phenomenon at the NPS electron linear accelerator in the 1980s.After his retirement from the NPS in 1994, John completed perhaps the greatest task in his career: building almost single-handedly his 28-foot racing sloop Calphurnia. John possibly holds the record for maintaining his position on the waiting list for a slip at Monterey Harbor for the longest period while he constructed the yacht. His other myriad interests included politics, sports, photography, movies, mountaineering, and good Irish whiskey shared with friends.Until the last few days of his illness, John was in good spirits and maintained his sense of humor and his love for family, friends, and stray cats.

The Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) Remote Sensing Center (RSC) and research partners have completed a remote sensing pilot project in support of California post-earthquake-event emergency response. The project goals were to dovetail emergency management requirements with remote sensing capabilities to develop prototype map products for improved earthquake response. NPS coordinated with emergency management services and first responders to compile information about essential elements of information (EEI) requirements. A wide variety of remote sensing datasets including multispectral imagery (MSI), hyperspectral imagery (HSI), and LiDAR were assembled by NPS for the purpose of building imagery baseline data; and to demonstrate the use of remote sensing to derive ground surface information for use in planning, conducting, and monitoring post-earthquake emergency response. Worldview-2 data were converted to reflectance, orthorectified, and mosaicked for most of Monterey County; CA. Airborne Visible/Infrared Imaging Spectrometer (AVIRIS) data acquired at two spatial resolutions were atmospherically corrected and analyzed in conjunction with the MSI data. LiDAR data at point densities from 1.4 pts/m² to over 40 points/ m² were analyzed to determine digital surface models. The multimodal data were then used to develop change detection approaches and products and other supporting information. Analysis results from these data along with other geographic information were used to identify and generate multi-tiered products tied to the level of post-event communications infrastructure (internet access + cell, cell only, no internet/cell). Technology transfer of these capabilities to local and state emergency response organizations gives emergency responders new tools in support of post-disaster operational scenarios.

The National Research Council report entitled ”Modeling and Simulation — Linking Entertainment and Defense” described a basic and applied research agenda applicable to both the virtual reality and entertainment research communities. The Naval Postgraduate School has developed an educational and research program in support of the report’s agenda with foci on technologies for immersion (low-cost 3D image generation, spatial tracking, game platform utilization, multimodal sensory presentation), networked simulation (high bandwidth networks, dynamically extensible network software architectures, area of interest management, techniques for latency reduction, standards for interoperability), and computer-generated autonomy (agent-based simulation, adaptability, learning, human behavior representations). In the presentation, we examine the future of networked entertainment and its requirements also useful for modeling, virtual environments and simulation. We then look at some particular efforts being carried out by the Naval Postgraduate School’s Modeling, Virtual Environments and Simulation (MOVES) Academic Group.

This work was done in the Departments of Oceanography and Meteorology at the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) under the support of the NPS Research Foundation for Mary Batteen, the Office of Naval Research (ONR) for Robert Haney, and direct funding at NPS for both Mary Batteen and Robert Haney with ONR as the sponsor.

A distributed feedback (DFB) fiber laser is compact, and is very suitable for using as a hydrophone to sense acoustic pressure. A DFB fiber laser hydrophone was researched. In the fiber laser hydrophone signal demodulating system, an unbalanced Michelson fiber interferometer and a Phase Generated Carrier (PGC) method were used. The PGC method can be used to demodulating the acoustic signal from the interference signal. Comparing with the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) method and Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) method, the digitized PGC method requires a greater amount of computation because of the high signal sampling, but it demands only one interference signal which makes the less fiber connections of the fiber laser hydrophone array. So the fiber laser hydrophone array based on the PGC method has lower complexity and higher reliability than that based on the NRL method or NPS method. The experimental results approve that the PGC method can demodulate acoustic signal between 20~2000 Hz frequency range with good signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) when the PZT driving frequency is 20 kHz.

The problem of legal protection of scientific research results is of growing interest nowadays. However, none of the three hitherto existing rights (the right for trade secrets, patent and copyright) is able to fully take into account the characteristics of scientific activities. In Russia, the problem of legal protection of scientific research results has been developed actively since the 50-ies of the last century, in connection with the introduction of the system of state registration of scientific discoveries. A further concept allowed for not only the registration of discoveries, but also the entire array of scientific results. However, theoretical applicability of exclusive rights institutions in the sphere of science remained unstudied. The article describes a new system, which is not fixed in legislation and remains unnoticed by the vast majority of researchers. That is the institution of scientific and positional rights, focused on the recognition procedure of authorship, priority, and other characteristics of intellectual scientific results value. In case of complex intellectual results, comprising scientific results, the recognition of result-oriented exclusive rights proves to be unsustainable. This circumstance urges us to foreground the institution of scientific and positional exclusive rights. Its scope is budget science where non-fee published scientific results are generated. Any exclusive right to use open scientific results is out of the question. The sphere of open (budget) science is dominated by scientific and positional exclusive rights, sanctioned both by the state (S-sanctioned), the bodies of the scientific community (BSC-sanctioned) and scientific community (SC-sanctioned) rights.

In recent years the Navy has provided the scientific community with increased access to the long-range underwater Sound Surveillance System (SOSUS). One of the first applications of this system was to monitor the migratory behavior of acoustically active pelagic whales (e.g., blue, humpback, finback). In 1995 the authors compared SOSUS detections of humpback whales with the positions of satellite telemetry-tagged humpbacks. The results suggest that SOSUS can reliably track whale migratory patterns by remote and non-intrusive real-time coverage of large areas of ocean that would be impossible to monitor by any other means. They also discuss the possibility of using SOSUS to estimate whale populations by turnstile monitoring of whales passing through a selected portion of the migratory path.

Between all core and access data networks exists a broadband distribution layer, useful for interconnections of sites and perhaps coalitions of forces. Realtime deployment and reconfiguration of broadband wide-area transport is an important problem, and current solutions have modestly pursued admission controls or addition of functionality to routers-approaches that will limit interoperability and scalability. We are developing management tools to adapt network infrastructure in realtime by application-awareness. We propose to treat network operations and management transactions as language artifacts and solve the problem of service delivery symbolically and intelligently. In particular, our intent is traverse the following domain ontologies: from requirements to specifications, from specifications to configuration, and among various geographic coordinate systems. This has involved an ongoing search for telecommunications-related ontologies and the willingness to develop our own. This research activity is aligned with the Worldwide Consortium for the grid, with its interest in network centric operations, and the "valued information at the right time" initiative at the Naval Postgraduate School, whose published work involves adaptation of flight plans with respect to weather using semantic reasoning techniques. This paper will discuss results and lessons learned from a software testbed for network management through semantic reasoning in largely an open source environment
