Office of Naval Research (ONR) Task Force Ocean

ONR plans to initiate new research to better understand and exploit the ocean environment. Topics under this call include: 

• Exploration of analytic techniques linking physical oceanographic variability with acoustic propagation, including field efforts to collect relevant data sets
• Analysis of large oceanographic and acoustic data sets, including the development and use of artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques
• Through-the-sensor environmental characterization, including assimilation into nested local environmental prediction models
• Exploration and development of advanced signal processing techniques that incorporate local ocean structure, including ambient noise characterization
