Simulation of targets and backgrounds in sonar/radar systems

Echolocation systems such as sonar and radar provide an important means of detecting, classifying, and tracking targets that are well beyond the range of human perception. However, the problem of achieving robust performance in a variety of situations is a difficult one. This is due to the limitatio...

However, the problem of achieving robust performance in a variety of situations is a difficult one. This is due to the limitations placed on sensor performance by the operating environment and the target itself.
