잠수함이 가장 취약한 시기는 잠수함이 스노클이나 잠망경 운용을 위하여 잠망경 심도로 항해할 경우이며, 이때에는 비음향 탐지센서인 레이더와 광학, 사람에 의한 시각에 탐지될 확률이 매우 높다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 이러한 상황에서 탐지되는 취약성을 극복하고자 잠수함 마스트 및 잠망경 부분에 비음향 스텔스를 적용하고자 한다. 먼저 비음향 탐지센서에 대해서 조사하고, 그에 따른 스텔스 기법을 분야별 분석하여 최적화한 결과 다층형 구조로 선체표면부터 RAM layer, IR layer, Camouflage layer 구조로 각각 RAM layer는 자성재료인 페라이트계열로 3~5mm, IR layer는 Ceramic 또는 Nickel 계열로 1~2mm, Camouflage layer는 군청색 계열 페인팅을 제시하였다.

The submarines reach their weakest point when they sail on the surface to operate snorkel and periscope. At this period, however, there lies a high possibility that the submarines are detected by non-acoustic sensors such as radars, IR signatures, and human observations. In this paper, the non-acoustic stealth was adopted on the mast and periscope of submarines so as to overcome their vulnerability of being easily detected in this given situation. First of all, the non-acoustic detection sensors were investigated and the stealth methods were analyzed. And multi-layered structures consisting of RAM layer, IR layer, and Camouflage layer were proposed on the surface of the submarine. As a results, multi-layered structure was suggested with 3~5 mm of a magnetic material such as ferrite for RAM layer, 1~2 mm of ceramic or nickel for IR layer, and sea-blue paint for Camouflage layer.

Monostatic sonar systems localize targets using the time information of pulse transmission and receipt. Whereas, in asynchronous bistatic sonar systems, receivers need to detect direct blast to localize targets, since a source doesn't share pulse information with receivers. In this paper, we propose a direct blast detection algorithm, which estimates PRI (Pulse Repetition Interval) of direct blast and adaptive thresholds. Experimental results show the proposed algorithm has robust direct blast detection performance in the environment where strong background noise and target signal exist.

This paper analyses the performance of FFTSA (Fast Fourier Transform Synthetic Aperture) in the effects of temporal coherence and oscillatory towed course, which is one of the techniques for passive synthetic aperture SONAR process using linearly distributed towed array. Also this paper proposes the FFTSA technique using towed array having conformal shape to alleviate the performance degradation for estimating the incident angle under inconsistent under water environments. And this paper analyses the performance of the proposed FFTSA technique making use of conformal structure throughout exhaustive computer simulations.

The bearing detection of radiated target noise is very important at underwater acoustic measurement and passive detection. It differs the arrival tines of received signal at each sensor. Therefore, the bearing can be obtained from the time delay. This paper proposes a new algorithm using the RLSL adaptive filter for TDE. The proposed method is particularly attractive when there is a limitation of priori information about the received signal spectra and when the delay is subject to variation. As the simulation results, it is shown that the proposed algorithm has better convergence characteristics and TDE speed, and so that the usefulness of proposed algorithm is confirmed.

In order to detect the precise port/starboard direction of arrival of target signal in real noisy ocean environments, Inverse beamforming (IBF) algorithm is surveyed theoretically and the detection performances of IBF are analyzed with simulations. Cardioid Inverse beamforming algorithm was proposed for port/starboard discrimination and the performance was studied with simulations. It is shown that IBF has a 3dB array gain advantage over Conventional beamforming (CBF) under ideal conditions. This 3 dB advantage is proven theoretically and illustrated with simulations. The fact that the IBF beamwidth is narrower than the CBF beamwidth by a factor of 0.68 proves the performance of defection and spatial resolution improvement. Comparing the simulation results of Cardioid Inverse beamforming and Conventional Cardioid beamforming, it is shown that Cardioid Inverse beamformer has enhanced performance in minimum detection level, detection accuracy and resolution. Due to the results of moving target bearing detection test in endfire, it is shown that Cardioid Inverse beamformer has better performance, comparing the Conventional Cardioid beamformer.

In this paper, an algorithm to calculate both bearing and distance error for target detection and localization is proposed using the Cramer Rao lower bound to estimate the minium variance of their error in DOA (Direction Of Arrival) estimation. The performance of arrays in detection and localization depends on the accuracy of DOA, which is affected by a variation of SNR (Signal to Noise Ratio). The SNR is determined by sonar parameters such as a SL (Source Level), TL (Transmission Loss), NL (Noise Level), array shape and beam steering angle. For verification of the suggested method, a Monte Carlo simulation was performed to probabilistically calculate the bearing and distance error according to the SNR which varies with the relative position of the target in space and noise level.
