    摘要: The present group of inventions relates to methods and systems for positioning underwater objects, and more particularly to methods and systems in which satellite signals are received by receivers disposed on sonar buoys, the coordinates of the sonar buoys are determined by means of computation modules on the sonar buoys, location data and identification data are transmitted in the form of sonar signals emitted by transmitters on the sonar buoys, the signals are received with the aid of a receiver disposed on an underwater object, and the coordinates of the underwater object are determined according to the time delay of receipt of the sonar signals from the sonar buoys, the location of which is known. The present solution can be used in simultaneously determining the geographical position of an unlimited number of mobile underwater objects, remotely operated underwater vehicles, divers, marine animals, etc. in motion. According to the invention, signals from the aforementioned sonar buoys are encoded in the form of periodic signals tethered to GPS/GLONASS clocks, all transmitters of the sonar signals are disposed at the same depth, and during decoding of the signals from the sonar buoys, direct signals from the sonar buoys are isolated from reflected signals. The system implements the aforementioned method. The achieved technical result is more accurate positioning of the underwater objects.

    摘要: A system for determining a signal source position and velocity, and methods for manufacturing and using same are provided. An exemplary method includes determining a signal source position and velocity by performing a direction analysis on a plurality of audio signals and performing an intensity analysis on the audio signals. Another exemplary method includes determining that a signal source is on a collision course with a moving platform and providing an instruction for altering the course of the moving platform to avoid a collision with the signal source. An exemplary system includes an acoustic sensing system, having a primary microphone array, a secondary microphone, and a processing device for determining a signal source position and velocity by performing a direction analysis on a plurality of audio signals and performing an intensity analysis on the audio signals.

    摘要: The present invention enables tomography data in the sea to be collected and transmitted via an artificial satellite to a ground station. Accordingly, data on the Doppler phenomenon and shift of a sound wave is also obtainable based on the temperature and density of sea water and an ocean current. This makes it possible to obtain information about a wide sea area, such as the relationship between the KUROSHIO and the El nino which is now attracting attention in relation to fishery, agriculture and abnormal weather. Hence, the present invention will be of wide application.
