Abstract

For effective bi-static sonar operation, detection performance analysis must be performed reflecting the characteristics of sound propagation due to the ocean environment and target information. However, previous studies analyzing bistatic sonar detection performance have either not considered the ocean environment and target characteristics or have been conducted using simplified approaches. Therefore, in this study, we compared and analyzed the bistatic detection performance in Yellow sea and Ulleung basin both with and without considering target characteristics. A numerical analysis model was used to derive an accurate bistatic target strength for the submarine-shaped target, and signal excess was calculated by reflecting the simulated target strength. As a result, significant changes in detection performance were observed depending on the source and receiver locations as well as the target strength.

효과적인 양상태 소나 운용을 위해서는 해양환경 요인에 의한 음파전달 특성과 표적의 정보를 반영한 탐지성능 분석이 수행되어야 한다. 하지만 기존의 양상태 소나 탐지성능 분석은 해양환경 및 표적 특성을 고려하지 않거나 단순화되어 수행되었다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 서해와 울릉분지 해역에서 해양환경과 표적의 특성을 고려한 양상태 탐지성능을 산출하였다. 잠수함 형상을 가지는 표적에 대한 양상태 표적강도 도출을 위해 수치해석 모델을 활용하였으며, 모의된 표적강도를 반영하여 신호초과를 계산하였다. 그 결과 송·수신기 위치, 양상태 표적강도에 따라 유의미한 탐지성능 변화가 확인되었다.
