Demonstration of Feasibility of AVCO Data Analysis and Prediction Techniques (ADAPT) for Sonar Detection. Volume I. Introduction, Results, Appendices.

Abstract

This report presents the results of a study which showed the feasibility of using the Avco Data Analysis and Prediction Techniques (ADAPT) to improve the ability to detect a sonar target in a sea and self-noise background by more than doubling the detection range compared to the reference conventional detection. The study concentrated on three areas: (1) Comparison of ADAPT methods with time averaging for characterizing the self-noise signals; (2) Comparison of ADAPT methods with time and frequency averaging as a target detector; (3) Determining the effect on detection of using ADAPT's ability to omit the characterizable noise in developing a detection algorithm.
