Description
Summary:The Real Time Performance Indicator (RTPI) prototype system assesses the quality of mine detection using a sonar. The system is designed for the Alkmaar class mine hunters equipped with dedicated instrumentation for measurement of the sound velocity profile, the absorption and reverberation in the vicinity of the hunter at the time of the operation (hence real time). The quality of mine detection is expressed as a detection probability curve which indicated the detection probability as a function of the athwart distance and as A and B values which indicate the characteristic detection width and the characteristic detection probability. The system is enclosed in the OPPAS rack and uses many of the OPPAS system interfaces. RTPI incorporates the HUNTOP simulator which simulates a mine hunting operation (detection phase) using real world environment data and computes the desired probabilities.
