Underwater Acoustic Modems
- ofrzeta 4y agoI recently came across this when I tried to find out how the US Navy’s Hammerhead system works. In this article https://www.popularmechanics.com/military/weapons/a34451548/navys-new-hammerhead-mine/ https://www.popularmechanics.com/military/weapons/a34451548/... they say "After the XLUUV releases the Hammerhead, the mooring module anchors the mine to the seabed where it might wait days, weeks, or even months for the activation order." So I tried to find out what possibilities there are for wireless underwater comm and found this. No idea if this is what Hammerhead uses or not but I found the technology fascinating nonetheless. There are also open source projects like this: https://blog.unetstack.net/Project-Sabine-Low-cost-DIY-underwater-modem-using-COTS-components-and-Unet-audio https://blog.unetstack.net/Project-Sabine-Low-cost-DIY-under...
