• Description:
  The ultimate goal of this project is to design and develop an experimental platform for testing and evaluation of mobile underwater acoustic networking. This report represents a cumulative summary of research and engineering efforts pursued from the beginning of the project up to this date. The project has focused on three topics: 1. Design and performance analysis of communication protocols for mobile acoustic networks; 2. Development of the software-​defined reconfigurable acoustic modem, and 3. Design and development of a small autonomous underwater vehicle (the micro AUV). Below, we comment on the work accomplished in each of these areas.
