NORTrace

Sonar performance prediction tool for any sonar from 1 kHz to 1 MHz, modelling environment and target properties to predict detection performance.

Description

NORTrace is a sonar performance prediction tool developed by NORBIT scientists, with models independently validated across many projects. Operators enter the sonar's physical description together with environmental factors and target properties to see its performance under changing conditions instantly. It works with any sonar between 1 kHz and 1 MHz, including surveillance, anti-submarine warfare, mine warfare, avoidance, diver detection and forward-looking sonars.

Key features

  • Sound speed profiles and ray tracing
  • Transmission loss and reverberation curves
  • Probability of detection and signal excess
  • Options: integration with tactical information displays, optimal sonar setting calculation and a calculation module for customer software

Applications

  • Sonar parameter optimisation and coverage analysis
  • Tactical training and decision aid
  • Research and development

Specifications

Frequency range1 kHz - 1 MHz
