동해 심해환경에서 잔향음에 의한 양상태 탐지성능 영향모의 및 분석

초록

To detect underwater targets using sonar, sonar performance analysis that reflects the ocean environment and sonar characteristics must be performed. Sonar performance modeling of passive and monostatic sonar can be performed relatively quickly even considering the ocean environment. However, since bistatic and multistatic sonar performance modeling require higher computational complexity and much more time than passive or monostatic sonar cases, they have been performed by simplifying or not considering the ocean environment. In this study, the effects of reverberation and ocean environment in bistatic sonar performance were analyzed using the bistatic reverberation modeling in the Ulleung Basin of the East Sea. As the sonar operation depth approaches the sound channel axis, the influence of the bathymetry on sound propagation is reduced, and the reverberation limited environment is formed only at short distances. Finally, it was confirmed that similar trends appeared through comparison between the simplified and elaborately calculated sonar performance modeling results.
