Detection and Cross-Fixing Cover for Various Arrangements of Sonar Arrays

Abstract

Considering only the problem of detection, the most economical arrangement of a number of arrays to give nominally full cover is a simple triangular lattice. In the more important problem of cross-fixing the best practical solution is simple square lattice, with detection range approximately equal to the spacing.
