The Norwegian Defence Research Establishment (FFI) is the prime institution responsible for defence-related research in Norway. The talk will give an overview of FFI`s activities related to underwater acoustic communications. Topics include:
- Autonomous underwater sensor networks, with the demonstrator system NILUS (networked intelligent underwater sensors).
- Underwater acoustic channel measurements and channel simulation, with the channel simulator `Mime`.
- Acoustic propagation modelling with Lybin.
- FFI`s participation in the EDA project RACUN (robust acoustic communications in underwater networks).
