:hmm: Not sure what you mean by this. I didn't think my question was getting into classified areas.

So, in general, you would most likely pick up a contact in broadband first, and then over time start to sort out the tonals? Is there a difference in the sphere sonar vs towed arrays? One thing my simulation didn't model is the ability of different sensors to pick up signals. I've read that towed arrays, with the longer pick up area, is better at picking up lower frequency signals. But does that translate into a better ability to pick up tonals?
Thanks, This stuff just fascinates me.
BTW: Dr. Sid, I've enjoyed messing around with your ray tracing programs. They are very interesting.
