Sonar Simulation Toolkit

Military applications are filled with software that just begs for visualization: radar, sonar, signal intelligence and so on. I’ve been a software developer in the military field for over 20 years, and something that has always been noticeable is that developers still mainly use text to set application parameters and verify resulting output.

Accession Number: ADA430617 Title: The Sonar Simulation Toolset, Release 4.1: Science, Mathematics and Algorithms Descriptive Note: Technical rept. Corporate Author: WASHINGTON UNIV SEATTLE APPLIED PHYSICS LAB Personal Author(s): Goddard, Robert P Full Text: Report Date: Mar 2005 Pagination or Media Count: 75 Abstract: The Sonar Simulation Toolset (SST) is a computer program that produces simulated sonar signals, enabling users to build an artificial ocean that sounds like a real ocean. Such signals are useful for designing new sonar systems, testing existing sonars, predicting performance, developing tactics, training operators and officers, planning experiments, and interpreting measurements. SST s simulated signals include reverberation, target echoes, discrete sound sources, and background noise with specified spectra.

Externally generated or measured signals can be added to the output signal or used as transmissions. Eigenrays from the Generic Sonar Model (GSM) or the Comprehensive Acoustic System Simulation (CASS) can be used, making all of GSM's propagation models and CASS s Gaussian Ray Bundle (GRAB) propagation model available to the SST user. A command language controls a large collection of component models describing the ocean, sonars, noise sources, targets, and signals. The software runs on several different UNIX computers. The software runs on several UNIX computers and Windows. SST's primary documentation is the SST Web (a large HTML web site distributed with the SST software), supported by a collection of documented examples.
