Abstract:

Two procedures for evaluating minehunting sonar performance are presented. One for detection with respect to range, the other for detection with respect to CPA or athwartships distance. Both procedures consider the trials results as subsets of normally distributed data and use fitted normal curves to calculate cumulative probability of detection curves which can be then assessed against specification.
