Single-Ping Target Speed and Course Estimation Using a Bistatic Sonar

This paper focuses on estimating the two-dimensional (2-D) target-speed vector (course and speed) using a multistatic sonar that consists of one monostatic sonar and one bistatic receiver. The speed and course estimates are obtained after a single transmission. The theory on bistatic Doppler and 2-D target-speed vector estimation is first...

Target Localisation with Multistatic Systems

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....
