Generating realistic sonar data in virtual ASW operations
- Having full control of relevant parameters, such as the underwater environment, target behaviour, and sonar settings, enables the exploration and testing of active sonar in scenarios that are difficult to achieve in sea trials or are underrepresented in existing data.
- Access to simple-to-use tools facilitates the process of designing and generating complex virtual datasets.
- Synthetic data can be an invaluable asset during the development of sonar systems, especially those involving novel technologies such as machine learning and automated data analysis, that require large amounts of pre-classified data.
