LAW ENFORCEMENT/COUNTERDRUG
THE AUTONOMOUS ACOUSTIC SENSOR SYSTEM (AASS) under development in SPL is a lightweight buoy system designed to autonomously detect and classify specific types of watercraft. This system can be used for various covert law enforcement operations, such as counterdrug surveillance. It can also be used for other watercraft monitoring applications. It provides custom digital signal processing (DSP) capabilities in which specialized signal processing algorithms are implemented. It also provides worldwide communications capabilities and long-term operational and station-keeping abilities.
