ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES LABORATORY
The Environmental Sciences Laboratory (ESL) conducts research in areas of ocean acoustic propagation and noise processes to advance understanding of the impact of the ocean acoustic environment on the performance of sonar systems. ESL has been an active participant in the development of advanced distributed surveillance systems and sonobuoy systems. To accomplish these goals, the group has developed strong capabilities in the areas of mathematical modeling of acoustic propagation, analysis and interpretation of acoustic data collected in ocean experiments, development and application of sophisticated signal processing algorithms, and development of instrumentation for experimental purposes.

SIGNAL & INFORMATION SCIENCES LABORATORY
The Signal and Information Sciences Laboratory (SISL) conducts research in the broad areas of signal physics and information sciences for a variety of DoD sponsors as well as other government agencies and industry. SISL’s work in signal physics covers a wide of range of topics in acoustics. This work has historically focused on underwater acoustics, primarily for the U.S. Navy. However, more recently, SISL’s sponsor base in underwater acoustics has expanded to include U.S. government law enforcement and intelligence agencies. Current work includes research in the areas of active and passive sonar and submarine vulnerability reduction, as well as research aimed at industrial and medical applications of acoustics. These industry and medical related efforts include the reduction of combustion emissions via acoustical processes, acoustically enhanced combustion, and theoretical and empirical studies of medical ultrasound.

SISL’s entry into the field of information sciences began with research focused on developing systems to collect and analyze large volumes of field artillery command and control data. Information sciences research subsequently expanded to encompass the areas of computer network defense, information assurance, human factors analysis, usability, modeling and simulation, and test and evaluation. This research supports a wide range of sponsors within the DoD community including the Army, Navy, Air Force, and intelligence agencies.
