Optimally Distributed Receiver Placements Versus an Environmentally Aware Source: New England Shelf Break Acoustics Signals and Noise Experiment

“…This article addresses the degree to which the improved ocean environmental awareness demonstrated in the NESBA This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 License.

A simplified problem is considered in which a source is detected with spatial uncertainty at time zero, the source is known to have the end-state goal of transiting to any one of a collection of known locations as quickly as possible while minimizing its probability of counter-detection, and the sonar operator's goal is to passively redetect and localize the source as quickly as possible.…”
