Abstract:In this paper we present a novel and relevant application for multi-agent systems which is to implement autonomy for Multistatic Sonar. Multistatic Sonar is used in Antisubmarine Warfare and exploits multiple aspects on the target generated by multiple acoustic sources and receivers. We propose to use a team of unmanned underwater vehicles starting with search operations as covert receivers and then switching to pursuit operations as actively communicating multistatic receivers. This results in a safe, persist… Show more
