A Multistatic Sonobuoy Theory

Abstract

The characterizing feature of multistatic systems is the inclusion of geographically independent receivers that might hear echoes from any source. We develop a simple analytic theory to predict detection probability, and use it to study cost/effectiveness issues and the advisability of using co-located source/receiver pairs instead of independent sources and receivers.
