FOREWORD (U)

,;er' Project COM 80* uses coded marine animal sounds for a covert underwater communications system with ranges to SO nmi. The Project COMBO concept originated in 1959 at the Navy Electronics Laboratory. Collection and analysis of sounds suitable for ul­timate use in Project COMBO began in 1965. We recorded marine animal sounds. mearntl!'d sound source levels. observed animal behavior and initiated a.:oustic analyses. In I <no. the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) sponsored analysis and duplkation of sonogram patterns of marine mammal sounds we had collected and the Naval Ship Systems Command (NA VSHIPS) sponsored the Project COMBO communications applica­tion of the sounds.

'8'f During Project COMBO. we developed a coding t'cchnique that uses temporal and frequency patterns to convey messages. We also developed a rccogniier/decodcr instru­ment. the COMBO Signal Recognizer KSR). and produced the im1noved CSR-II from it. We devt.•lopcd methods for computer sound synthesis and investigated communications ap· plkations of entire sound sequences. Laboratory and sea tests used six demonstration mes­sages based on coded pilot whale sounds: me,;sagcs were received correctlr underwater out to 50 nmi.

-+€1"" The Project COMBO effort was coordinated with the Low Data Rah~. Quick Response Pro.gram of the Integrated Acoustic Communications System plan. In this report we review Project COMBO and relate the projed conc.ept to advan.:ed development and fleet use. We present background information and discuss the Project COMBO plan.

SUMMARY (U)

OBJECTIVE (U)

,JRr" Develop a covert communications system with a bioacoustical message fom1a1 using animal sounds as message elements that are recognizable with existing Oeet signal pro· cessing equipment.

RESULT$ (U)

I. <J2:'f A coding technique. a computer program for elemental sound synthesis and a recognizer/decoder instrument that is compatible with fleet low-data-rate communicatio11s equipment were developed. /

2. ~Pilot whale sounds were synthesized and coded to convey six demonstra· tion messages. Messages were received correctly underwater out to SO'nmi.

RECOMMENDATIONS (U)

I. <a- Coordinate progress and resu Its from Project COM BO into the Integrated Acoustic Communication System Plan. especially the Low Data Rate/Quick Response Program.

2. (£'(Develop techniques and equipment to synthesize large whale soundi; and small whale screams and to process wideband clicks and frequency-swept signals.

3. Jf.?.r Modify the COMBO signal rcce'.-1ersystem to utilize more message frequen­cies. Increase the CSR processing bit rate to 0.0~ bits/sec. Use automatic gain control and a wider filter pass bnnd on the receiver syslem. Adapt parallel coding/decoding to the CSR: update the input pattern every 50 mscc.

4. ~ Perform an error anulysis on the triplcrredundant message format.

S. j.,G1' Develop and maintain a reference collection of recorded marine animal sounds. Collec.:t information on th.:a distribution and habits of bioac.:oustic sou re~ animals.

;81 111e synthesis of pilot whale sounds requires an ability 10 desaibe the sounds· microstructure and to choose the generated frequencies. For applications not requiring rl."al­tirne generation, sounds can be tape recorded. Recorded sounds would haw an upper fre­quency limit about 7 kHz. Methods of sound synthesis involve signal generation tedmiqLll'S and computer software but the upper frequem·y of synthcs.ized sounds is limited lly hardw;.in:.

TRANSDUCERS (U)

BACKGROUND (U)

.J.Br Transducers for transmir.ting antl receiving COMBO low-data-rate mcssagcs should have the following characteristics:

o A fre<1uency range of 20 Hz to I 0 kHz. o A source level of 160 to 200 dB re I µPa at I m. and o A projector signa1·to-noisc ratio of at least 5 5 dB.

Different transducers may be required to transmit different types of sounds.

CU> We surveyed ":.7 transmitting and 9 receiving systems to identify 1ran:-.duccrs a..:ccptable for COMBO use.

-tSr Sound projectors transmit most cfli!ctiwly in a rdativcly narrow frl'quc111.:y band. For some projectors. the effective band is wide enough for COMBO applkation with certain sounds. but no proje..:tor is suitable for all COMBO sounds. Fvr example. COMBO codes 1onals in pilot whale phonalions from I to 3 kHz. but the animal's sonic repertoirl· ..-x­tends from 300 Hz to 15 kHz. The COMBO schem~ is directl!'d toward use of lkcl sonar l!quipmc-nt. but olher transducers wcrc surveyed because fleet equipment dol!s not fulfill all COM BO requirements.

1-e-T No fleet sonar system proje1.·t_s i:-ffoclively over thc fr.:qucn1.:y hand rt•quir.:d for all low data rate transmisi;ions in the COMBO s.:heme. so WI! consi<lcr'-'ll projcl'tors with re· gard to the kind of sounds that could be projected. The sounds' animal sources were dassi­ticd by frequency limits. High·frcqucncy animal sourcl!sproJucc sount.ls in th.:: 500- to 8000· Hz range. Small whales and porpoises. spcc.:ifically, belui.:a. killer and pilot whab. un: high· frcquc111.;y sources of COMBO sounds. C'om11onents of small whales· signals may cxct'cd X kHz. but attl!llUation limils COl\111\llllicalion u1ilily or tht> signals' higher frcqul'm:ics. Mid· frl'qm;:ncy animal soun:es produce sounJs in the 70- tq 3000-Hz rang.:. Some: large whak~. such as humpbacks. :mt! most pinnipcds arc mid-frl'qucncy COM 80 sotm:cs. Low·frl·quc11'.. ~,.

animal sources prodm:c soum.ls in the ~0- to ~00-Hz range. Largl.' whales. suc.:h as h Im:. linh;id; and gray whales. are low-frequency COMBO sources. Because the frequency limits ovt:rl:ip. :-:.omc animals arc sources in two categories.

SIGNAL OCCURRENCE (U)

)8'5 Bioacoustic communication signals must occur at the proper time and place. No marine mammal is pan-oceanic and many Jisrinct phonations occur only at certain times or places. The frequency with which a bioacoustic communication will be used depends upon the communicators' a1:tivitics. More common signals should be used for more frequent 1:om­munications .

.4Bf A guide to biologics has been produced to familiarize sonam1en with bioacoustic signals. bioacoustic sources, and marine mammal distribution t reference 12>.

FLEET IMPACT (U)

.f.5'r A six-week study of Project COMBO and of the effects of bioacoustics on fleet oper.itions condudcd that both the U.S. and the Soviet Union would have the capahility to apply bioacoustics to communications rasks after 1975 (reference 36 ). Covert active sonar using marine animal sounds requires changes in fleet sonar hardware and operating doctrine. Reliable. relatively covert communications possible through Project COMBO also will affect submarine ta(.·tical deployment.

~ Poor communications disrupt coordination in submarine escort or ASW opera· tions. Even a limited covert co111munication ability will enhance coordination between sur­face ships and submarines. Project COMBO provides covertness unavailable with prcscntly­d1:ployed two-way communication systems and thus enhances ~oordination in critical scenarios.

-+st- LJ_S. Sonarmcn typically tune out biologics as interference. but Soviet use of bioaeoustics for communications is likely. so fleet sonannen must become more familiar with bioacoustic signals. Past biologics dassifkation wus base~ on NAST AD training tapes. aural memory and the som1m1e11's ex1,criencc. Annotated BQR-20/2'.! displays and hio-.

·acoustic indices I rclcren·-·e 12) now augment the classification effort.

~ Marine animal sounds arc ubiquitous I reference 37) and likely well-known to Soviet sonarmi;-11. Signal processing techniques will aid anu advance underwater military 1:om111unit.:ations. hut U.S. for1:cs may face <1n increasingly costly race 10 stay below 1m.·­sumcd dl.'tection thresholds. Covert communication by natural disguise is ;i psyd1ologically confounding allcrnativc approach that can convey consider.able advantagl' to the adversary first employing the technique.
