Precision and Intelligence Laboratory (Tokyo Institute of Technology, Yokohama, Japan) No.68 (1993-9) p. 169 [Paper published in Journal of Marine Acoustics Society of Japan, v. 20, p. 37-43, 1993.] KEY WORDS: Japan, sonar, array beam forming, synthetic aperture, error correction Abstract of an article: "Signal Enhancement for Ship Mounted Sonar by Overlapping Sectional Synthetic Aperture Method" from Hitachi Ltd.. The authors suggest that SAR may be used on shipboard by signal processing techniques to overcome ship motions. Could this be used to improve directional capabilities of conventional shipboard sonars and multibeam systems?? ************** END Msg. B.OAC **************
