A sound source for acoustic communication, navigation, and networking of an underwater glider may include a cylindrical body, a rigid front section disposed anteriorly to the cylindrical body, a plurality of metal rods, a resonant pipe surrounding the rods, and a rod-mounted piezo-ceramic transducer disposed between the body and the front section. Each rod may be attached at a first end to an anterior portion of the body and at a second end to a posterior portion of the front section. The pipe may be disposed between the body and the front section. The transducer may be disposed within the pipe. A posterior end of the pipe may be separated from the anterior portion of the body by a first orifice, and an anterior end of the pipe may be separated from the posterior portion of the front section by a second orifice.
