This is the final report for Phase II of a three phase project. In this three phase project, we are integrating inexpensive, easily deployable magnetic measurement systems into small autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs). These AUVs are being trained to work together to assess the magnetic signature of a forward deployed ship or submarine. This assessment is important to establish a vehicle's stealth condition relative to potential threats. Navy vessels, including submarines, go through a procedure where their magnetic and acoustic signature is measured and modified to reduce detection. This operation is performed in US ports. Unfortunately, no procedure is available for measuring and modifying these signatures for forward deployed vessels. Ideally, this process should be done just before the vehicle goes into an operation in a hostile environment. We are developing multiple AUVs having magnetic sensors that travel in a formation under navy ships to assess that ship's magnetic signature in forward deployed areas. All vehicle testing is being performed at the Acoustic Research Detachment of the Carderock Division of the Naval Surface Warfare Center in Bayview, Idaho.
