Abstract
The thesis explores the phenomena unique to echo-ranging
with a source widely separated from the receiver. In an
asset-austere era of antisubmarine warfare, this technique
serves as a tactical advantage, particularly in the passive
tracking of a submarine. Particular emphasis is placed on
the terms of the sonar equation most affected by the bistatic
geometry: Reverberation level and target strength. The research
is particularly applicable to ongoing NATO and naval
laboratory work involving the bistatic concept in array design
and for use with surface escorts in conjunction with friendly
submarines.
