Dr Ainslie’s book provides a long-awaited complete and modern treatment of sonar
performance modelling (SPM). In this context, the word "sonar" is used in a broad sense,
to mean any deliberate use of underwater sound, including by marine mammals. The
acronym "SONAR" stands for "sound navigation and ranging", but this book demonstrates
how sonar systems and methodology are used for a variety of sensing, communications
and deterrence systems, and by a number of industries and end-users (military, offshore,
fisheries, surveyors and oceanography).
The first three chapters provide background information and introduce the sonar
equations. The author then lays the main foundations with separate chapters on
acoustical oceanography, underwater acoustics, signal processing and statistical detection
theory. These disparate disciplines are integrated expertly and authoritatively into a
coherent whole, with as much detail as necessary added for more advanced applications
of SPM. The book is illustrated with numerous worked examples, at both introductory and
advanced levels, created using a variety of modern SPM tools.
