Abstract: The Southeast Alaska Acoustic Measurement Facility (SEAFAC) is currently the most advanced acoustic testing field for submarines. It is also the most important acoustic testing area of the United States in Pacific Ocean. It provides the capability to perform noise monitoring, measurement and evaluation for ships, to determine the sources of radiation noise, to assess vulnerability, and to develop quieting measures. SEAFAC is also capable of supporting submarine target strength measurements. In this paper, the history, main facility and fuction of SEAFAC are introduced and studied. It may be helpful for building acoustic testing field in China.

Key words: acoustics, submarine, radiated acoustic, acoustic testing field, measurement facility

摘要： 美国东南阿拉斯加潜艇水声试验场（SEAFAC）是目前世界上最先进的水声试验场，也是美国在太平洋最重要的水声检测机构，承担着对美国在役和新研各型舰艇实艇噪声监视及测量的任务。本文简要介绍该试验场的由来，组成及主要功能，并对我国水声试验场的建设提出建议。
