Roadmap
Planned and potential extensions include:
Environmental modelling
Coherent ambient noise modelling for wind, rain, and wave-induced noise
Improved acoustic volume attenuation and boundary loss modelling
Systematic environmental uncertainty modelling for sound speed and sensor-position errors
Signal and source modelling
Expanded source directivity modelling
Additional sensing geometries, including hull-mounted arrays, sonobuoys, and distributed arrays
Detection and performance analysis
Alternative SNR and beam-power outputs, including angle-dependent CFAR variants
Bearing × time × frequency output volume to support multi-band downstream processing
Multi-band detector operating across frequency bands simultaneously
2D CFAR with training cells spanning both bearing and time, giving the detector access to a limited time history
Extended sensing modalities
Active sonar modelling
Multistatic and bistatic configurations
