To determine the source level of a test vessel, to validate numerical tools and experimental procedures;
x To measure the footprint of a test vessel to validate numerical modelling tools;
x To provide radiated noise data for a variety of ships under normal operating conditions to support the
development of a source level model that can be used to predict the radiated noise from ships based on their
operational and design parameters broadcasted through the Automatic Identification System (AIS) for ships.
