General Requirements for a Broadband Performance Model

Abstract

Presently the broadband version of the Generic Sonar Model (GSM), though quite useful, is constrained by several limitations such as flat water bottoms, range independent ocean sound speed profiles and linear FM source pulses. This memorandum will examine in general terms the requirements for development of a more versatile broadband performance prediction model using the same basic approach as is currently utilized in GSM. This document will not rigorously define the specifications for a new broadband model but instead will discuss the strategy and possible solutions to many of the frequency dependent issues that must be overcome in order to create a new multifaceted version of broadband GSM.
