Group description:
The
Advanced Undersea Systems and Technology Group works with the U.S. Navy
and other sponsors within the Department of Defense (DoD) to perform
rigorous systems analyses; create new system architectures; and develop
acoustic and non-acoustic multi-domain sensor concepts, autonomous
capabilities, signal processing techniques, and undersea networks and
communication system concepts. This work addresses the DoD's
increasingly important need to enhance its capabilities in surveillance
and communications via undersea systems. The technical staff hold
advanced degrees in electrical engineering, physics, applied
mathematics, ocean engineering, and computer science. The group conducts
parametric analysis, field testing, and data collection to prove new
concepts and collaborates closely with other groups within the Air,
Missile and Maritime Defense Technology Division and throughout the
Laboratory.
For the full time staff, the job description is:
The
Advanced Undersea Systems and Technology Group is in search of a
candidate that is skilled at defining and evaluating technical
approaches to solve problems important to the undersea domain. The group
is considering candidates capable of contributing in several of the
following areas: signal processing and detection, parameter estimation,
model development for evaluating algorithms and undersea architectures,
physics-based analysis and engineering assessment, and multi-domain
prototyping. Candidates must be able to work well within a team and
collaborate with experienced technical staff to refine problem
statements as well as work independently to perform analysis, develop
candidate solutions, and implement methodologies to evaluate the utility
of candidate solutions. Candidates must have strong interpersonal and
communication skills.
For the summer interns, the job description is:
MIT
Lincoln Laboratory's Advanced Undersea Systems and Technology Group
seeks a summer intern to be involved in supporting development of
advanced acoustic signal processing techniques. In particular, the
reassigned spectrogram (or time-corrected instantaneous-frequency
spectrogram) is a spectral analysis tool often used to determine the
precise instantaneous frequencies and associated times of occurrence of
spectral components in an acquired signal of interest. It has been
described in the literature as an effective method of analysis for,
among other things, human speech, animal communications, and music. In
this project, we would like to explore various aspects of the reassigned
spectrogram including efficient implementations, display methods
(specifically artifact removal/de-noising), and extensions to the
analysis of other non-stationary signals.
