Characterization of Uncertainty in Low Frequency Active Sonar

Abstract

The goals of this project are to characterize and evaluate the effects of uncertainty on low frequency impulsive active sonars of the type exemplified by Distant Thunder (DT) or Extended Echo Ranging (EER). This project is a component of the UNITES effort aimed at (i) comprehending uncertainty in the ocean environment and characterizing its impact on tactical sonar performance, and (ii) providing the Navy with guidance for understanding sonar performance in the littoral.
