Abstract
This paper describes a simulated data set that can be used for tracker evaluation. The data set is generated in the framework of the Multistatic Tracking Working Group (MSTWG). The simulations are carried out using the TNO SIMONA simulator, which can generate raw hydrophone data for an arbitrary number of sources, receivers, and targets. All of these can be moving or stationary. The simulations can include, for example, reverberation, ambient noise and intra-ping displacement. The simulated hydrophone data are beamformed and matched-filtered, and a contact-formation algorithm is applied. All contacts of one {source, receiver, ping} triplet are stored in a so-called contact file. These files are used by the MSTWG to evaluate and compare different tracking algorithms, the results of which are described in other papers in this special session
