A Comparison of Three Magnetic Anomaly Detection (MAD) Models

Abstract

This thesis presents a comparison of three Magnetic Anomaly Detection (MAD) models: a cross-correlation detection model, a square law detection model, and a model referred to as the OPTEVFOR detection model. FORTRAN and BASIC programs for the three detection models are included in this thesis. The programs yield detection probabilities for straight line encounters. Magnetic signal values for the straight line encounters are an additional output. Plots of lateral range curves and magnetic signal values are presented. A discussion of the required parameters is included in the thesis to facilitate the use of the programs. The parameters that were considered in the comparison of the three detection models are: magnetic noise, aircraft and submarine headings, submarine displacement, and the vertical separation between submarine and aircraft.
