Sonar Simulation Toolset: Clutter Modeling and Support

Abstract

The primary objective of this project was to develop an algorithm for time-series simulation of target-like bottom clutter, and add it to the Sonar Simulation Toolset (SST). Toward that end, we added location-dependent bottom types to SST, added bottom-slope corrections to the scattering strengths and reflection coefficients, and made several of the algorithms sensitive to the locations of surface and bottom reflections. We also made several changes to improve SST's efficiency, usability, completeness, and correctness. The primary deliverables were two releases of SST; we also pushed through publication a major report and a JUA(USN) invited paper reviewing SST's science and math.
