description: This is a ARMY RESEARCH LAB ADELPHI MD report procured by the Pentagon and made available for public release. It has been reproduced in the best form available to the Pentagon. It is not spiral-bound, but rather assembled with Velobinding in a soft, white linen cover. The Storming Media report number is A499353. The abstract provided by the Pentagon The Acoustic Battlefield Aid (ABFA) is a prototype decision aid for assessing the performance of acoustic sensors in different environments. ABFA combines accurate modeling of atmospheric effects on acoustic signals with newly developed methods for determining acoustic array performance. The report describes the methods by which ABFA calculates such quantities as transmission loss, signal-to-noise ratio, detection probability, array direction-finding accuracy, and position-finding accuracy from array networks. Some example calculations are provided for propagation over rough terrain in various weather conditions.
