The Tacotron-Based Signal Synthesis Method for Active Sonar [PDF]
The importance of active sonar is increasing due to the quieting of submarines and the increase in maritime traffic. However, the multipath propagation of sound waves and the low signal-to-noise ratio due to multiple clutter make it difficult to detect ...

Behavioural responses of fin whales to military mid-frequency active sonar [PDF]
The effect of active sonars on marine mammal behaviour is a topic of considerable interest and scientific investigation. Some whales, including the largest species (blue whales, Balaenoptera musculus), can be impacted by mid-frequency (1–10 kHz) military

Bio-Inspired Covert Active Sonar Strategy [PDF]
The covertness of the active sonar is a very important issue and the sonar signal waveform design problem was studied to improve covertness of the system.

A Phase-Coded Sequence Design Method for Active Sonar [PDF]
Phase-coded sequences are widely studied as the transmitted signals of active sonars. Recently, several design methods have been developed to generate phased-coded sequences satisfying specific aperiodic or periodic autocorrelation sidelobe level metrics.

First direct measurements of behavioural responses by Cuvier's beaked whales to mid-frequency active sonar [PDF]
Most marine mammal strandings coincident with naval sonar exercises have involved Cuvier's beaked whales (Ziphius cavirostris). We recorded animal movement and acoustic data on two tagged Ziphius and obtained the first direct measurements of behavioural

Optimal Waveform Design Using Frequency-Modulated Pulse Trains for Active Sonar [PDF]
Frequency-modulated pulse trains can be applied in active sonar systems to improve the performance of conventional transmitted waveforms. Recently, two pulse trains have been widely researched as the transmitted waveforms for active sonars.

Route Optimization for Active Sonar in Underwater Surveillance [PDF]
Multistatic sonar networks (MSNs) have emerged as a powerful approach for enhancing underwater surveillance capabilities. Different from monostatic sonar systems which use collocated sources and receivers, MSNs consist of spatially distributed and ...

SCENARIOS FOR BENCHMARKING RANGE-DEPENDENT ACTIVE SONAR PERFORMANCE MODELS [PDF]
A set of eight sonar problems, pertaining to man-made active sonar, with source frequencies ranging from 250 Hz to 3.5 kHz, is defined. The scenarios are designed to emphasize range dependent propagation aspects in coastal waters, with the aim of testing

Unsupervised active sonar contact classification through anomaly detection
Target detection and sonar contact classification with active sonar systems are not trivial especially when operating in coastal and shallow water environments with multipath propagation, high reverberation and clutter. It is even more difficult when the
