Sonobuoy fields, comprising a network of transmitters and receivers, are commonly deployed to find and track underwater targets. For a given environment and sonobuoy field layout, the performance of such a field depends on the scheduling, that is, deciding which source should transmit, and which fro…
Sonobuoy fields, consisting of many distributed emitter and receiver sonar sensors on buoys, are used to seek and track underwater targets in a defined search area. A sensor scheduling algorithm is required in order to optimise tracking performance by selecting which emitter sonobuoy should transmit…
The Threat Probability Density Map displays the outcomes of the search effort prior to detection and is a digital representation of the probability density function of location of the existing undetected threat. The Threat Map readily provides such diagnostics as the probabilities of the threat bein…
Optimal beamforming on synthetic noise and interference is a flexible and intuitive technique for shaping beam patterns. In this method, suppression of arrivals from undesirable directions is achieved through introduction of synthetic interferences and optimal beamforming using the resulting noise-i…
