A Sonar Design Tool: Multi-Channel Monte Carlo Simulation.

Abstract

The design of a combined passive and active sonar system in the form of a programmable special purpose computer is feasible with current technology. In fact, the flexibility offered by such a system brings to the foreground an important sonar problem: What algorithms are most effective in accomplishing a given task or mission. Since many of the algorithms are non-linear and may not be directly analyzed in terms of relevant performance parameters, a Monte Carlo simulation has been developed. The essence of the technique is to develop a representative stochastic sequence and carefully observe the algorithm (or algorithms) response under controlled conditions.
