The Design of a Sonar Target Simulator.

Abstract

The design considerations of a device for simulating the motion of passive sonar targets are examined. A specific design is discussed in the paper along with its limitations and methods for extending the design to include multiple targets. False targeting in digital-multibeam-steering (DIMUS) sonars is explored through a simulation. A general method for altering the information in certain display types is developed from the results of the simulation.
