Target Localisation with Multistatic Systems
other
Submarines becoming more and more silent, the Navies have much interest in active-sonar applications for Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW). The overt nature of low-frequency active sonar (LFAS) operations could give to an opposing submarine the potential initiative. This risk can be significantly reduced by the use of multistatic sonar techniques. Tactically, multistatic operations can lead to larger detection areas (e.g. [1]). Secondly, combining the results of more receivers, the target detection and classification may improve and provide useful information. To allow data fusion between multiple platforms, each system has to be able to localise targets accurate enough.
