✦ Synopsis

Modeling Detection and Tactical Decision Aids

Chapter 2, The Sonar Equations, discusses the sonar equation, signal excess, XS or SE, and the concept of figure of merit, FOM. Using that discussion and knowing each parameter of the sonar equation, only simple arithmetic is required to determine the detection range.
