"RESEARCH IS TO SEE WHAT EVERYBODY ELSE HAS SEEN AND TO THINK WHAT NOBODY ELSE HAS THOUGHT"
The Underwater Acoustic Research Lab is established by Dr. S. Sakthivel Murugan, Associate Professor by 2015 in the department of Electronics and Communication Engineering, SSN College of Engineering, Rajiv Gandhi Salai (OMR), Kalavakkam, Chennai, India. The lab was established with the support of SSN management with a seed money of 7 Lakhs. At present, this lab is equipped with various underwater sensors like Hydrophone array, Acoustic transmitter, Side Scan Sonar, Sound Velocity Profiler, Underwater drone and Cameras with accessories for real-time data collection worth close to 60 Lakhs through various funded projects worth Rupees 112.37 Lakhs. Recently the lab is equipped with the underwater testing facility by the establishment of Underwater test tank (12' L x 8' W x 4' H) with capacity of 10,874 litres.

The lab currently focuses its research on Underwater ambient noise analysis, Study on Coral classifications, Underwater Image processing, localization of Autonomous Underwater Vehicle, Animal bio-acoustics, testing and implementation of MIMO transmission in underwater channel, etc. The lab has developed an energy harvesting system using seawater as an electrolyte and an inspection class Remotely Operatable Vehicle named “ORCA”. The lab also provides consultancy services to industry, academic, research and PG/UG students interested in underwater domain by providing its facilities and technical support.
