System for Providing an Estimate of the Location of an Undersea Object

Abstract

A system is disclosed that provides a sonar operator with the most likely range to a target of interest. The system generates and displays a contour based on ship's parameters, target parameters, environmental data, and operator parameters. The sonar operator can vary many of the parameters in 'what if' scenarios so as to Generate Groups of contours for preselected probabilities of detection. Contours can be used to show the actions that should be taken to ensure a favorable outcome.
