Development and validation of models predicting flow-related underwater noise
Funds a contractor to build better models of flow-generated underwater noise to improve sonar placement on naval platforms.
This is a single-stage European Defence Fund Research Action, one of seven topics in the EDF-2026-RA call; this topic's own indicative share is EUR 10 million. Work covers generating and integrating knowledge and studies toward verified tools and new models for flow-generated underwater noise, supporting sonar placement and design and the simulation of radiated noise from underwater platforms, inc…
The Commission wants verified tools and new models for flow-generated underwater noise, covering both sonar placement and the simulation of radiated noise from underwater platforms. It's after high-quality verification data that supports better design of underwater platforms and better placement and design of sonar systems.
