Abstract
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)
