(C) Prc,cct COMBO produced the elements of a covert communications system that conveys coded messages<br />
using selected marine animal sounds in a natural sound environment. Project progress includes development of a coding<br />
teer -.ique. a ~omputer program for elemental synthesis, and a recognizer/decoder instrument that is compatible witb<br />
fleet low-data•rate communications. equipment. The report also discusses. properties of available transducers and !<br />
characteristics of marine animal sounds as possible elements of covert communication systems.<br />
