A Scheduled at-Sea Simulation of Adaptive Beamforming

Abstract

The Least Mean Square algorithm is a method of extracting a target signal in the presence of interfering noise sources. The method and the computer tests for simulated conditions utilizing random numbers, are reviewed. These tests indicate that the method is feasible for laboratory conditions. The purpose of a sea test is to evaluate the method for actual ocean conditions. The proposed experiment is part of project PARKA and will use elements of the Sea Spider array, the USNS SANDS (AGOR-6), and the Univac 1230 computer system. The data will be processed in real time. The experiment and computer program are described. (Author)
