  1. Low Probability of Detection for Underwater Acoustic Communication Networks Roee Diamant, Lutz Lampe, Emmett Gamroth

  2. Motivation • LPD not LPI ! • Applications: • Military – “quite” sonar, UWAC • Safety & Environment – regulations are dB/Hz • Lack of clear definition – what is LPD? • Low SNR? • Blend in noise? • LPD by who? Objective: representation of LPD 2

  3. Methods for LPD UWAC • Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS): • random phase [Ling:2010] • Chaotic sequence [Lei:2011] • OFDM – close bands + slow Tx rate [Leus:2008] • Focusing: time reversal [Yang:2008], MIMO [Zhu:2006] Spreading: Dispreading: PSD noise level PSD noise level Frequency Frequency Interceptor: Receiver: 3

  4. Quality Measures • Determine if a comm. System is LPD • Alternatives: • We use: • captures target Pd, Pfa of interceptor, and Pe of receiver • Not related to Tx power • LPD - for each , define • Truly covert - , Good LPD - 4

  5. LPD Comm. System – a Test Case • Simple attenuation model: • Model used to set upper and lower bounds on LPD! • SNPR at distance r from Tx: • Assuming similar at Rx and In, we get • If are similar : 6

  6. Capabilities: Receiver and Interceptor • Interceptor – energy detection: • Interceptor SNPR (ROC): • Receiver detection (ROC): • Receiver decoding: 7

  7. Simulation • Parameters: • MPSK DSSS vs. Energy detector Channel Parameters Spreading factor 8

  8. Sea Trial • Vancouver Island - Saanich Inlet • Vessels: • Transmitter – fixed buoy (Ocean Technology Test Bed, UVIC) • Receiver – drifting vessel • Interceptor– maneuvering vessel • Procedure: • Find Tx-Rx range (max s.t. BER = 0) • Find Tx-In range (max s.t. detect) 9

  9. Sea Trial - Results Fc = 40kHz Fc = 30kHz • True LPD is possible! 10

  10. Summery • Channel Effect: • LPD inversely proportional to carrier frequency ( ) • LPD better in shallow water ( ) • Communication Effect: • LPD increases with spreading factor (K), • LPD decreases as Tx rate increase • LPD inversely proportional to number of symbols (N) • True LPD is possible! (validated in sea trial) Thank you! 11
