Offering complete and comprehensive coverage of modern sonar spectrum
system analysis, Underwater Acoustics: Analysis, Design and Performance
of Sonar provides a state-of-the-art introduction to the subject and has
been carefully structured to offer a much-needed update to the classic
text by Urick. Expanded to included computational approaches to the topic,
this book treads the line between the highly theoretical and mathematical
texts and the more populist, non-mathematical books that characterize
the existing literature in the field. The author compares and contrasts
different techniques for sonar design, analysis and performance prediction
and includes key experimental and theoretical results, pointing the reader
towards further detail with extensive references. Practitioners in the
field of sonar design, analysis and performance prediction as well as
graduate students and researchers will appreciate this new reference as
an invaluable and timely contribution to the field.

Chapters include the sonar equation, radiated, self and ambient noise,
active sonar sources, transmission loss, reverberation, transducers,
active target strength, statistical detection theory, false alarms,
contacts and targets, variability and uncertainty, modelling detections
and tactical decision aids, cumulative probability of detection, tracking
target motion analysis and localization, and design and evaluation of
sonars.
