Generation of Synthetic SAS Data for Targets Near the Seafloor: Propagation Component

Abstract

The primary objective of the proposed research is further development of an APL-UW synthetic aperture sonar simulation tool (SAS-ST) that generates sets of realistic pings suitable for SAS processing for targets near the seafloor (i.e., proud and buried targets). The propagation component will update the rough surface reverberation model to include bistatic scattering, and test and improve the propagation model for the scattered field from a target when the source and receiver are in a bistatic configuration.
