Signal Design and Computer Aided Detection for the AN/SQS-26 Variant,

Abstract

This memorandum outlines the portion of Exploratory Development's research in signal design and computer aided detection and display which is applicable for inclusion in the Variant 1 and Variant 2 programs. Mr. Bob Courts of UNITECH and Mr. Jerry Dow of TRACOR have written major sections of this memorandum, summarizing work which has been previously accomplished. Mr. Kermit Harvel of Applied Research Laboratories (ARL) has added comments concerning the ODT search system, and ARL has combined the separate sections. Mr. Pat Pitt of ARL has recently prepared a Baseline Classification System outline which was, in part, written with the AN/SQS-26 Varient 1 requirements in mind. This baseline outline is the result of a committee representing most of the exploratory development effort in ASW active sonar classification over the last five years; many of the system considerations which appear in the discussion of short range subsystem also are discussed in this outline. Two additional subjects related to the performance of the AN/SQS-26 are mentioned first: own ship's motion compensation and passive detection of torpedoes.
