Novel Acoustic Scattering Processes for Target Discrimination

Abstract

The objective of this grant is to examine issues supportive of the SWAMSI team effort by improving the understanding of acoustic scattering processes relevant to MCM and the shallow water environment. The current emphasis is on the interpretation of bistatic synthetic aperture sonar and acoustic holographic images. Other objectives involved improved understanding and modeling of scattering mechanisms that are broader in scope and are outlined below.
