Maybe what we really want is not so much a real-time state-of-the-art sound propagation model, as the ability to enter real-life meteorological and oceanographic data from online databases, and use an off-line sonar model to generate a family of prop-loss curves to represent an environment that we've provinced off ourselves during scenario generation. |
Even if you had the outside database information, wouldn't you still need a high fidelity sound propagation model that utilizes that information during the simulation? Even if you could download data and plug that into the acoustic conditions of a DW scenario, you're still stuck with 3 low-fidelity SSPs and not many variables to use to tweak them. I'm not saying it wouldn't be a cool tool to have, but it seems like this would be a complimentary* improvement, not a substitute. Or am I misunderstanding the proposal?
*And one which would be a great feautre of a dynamic campaign engine!
