Abstract
A sonar target simulator ('STS') for training a sonar operator is disclosed. The STS is configured to create a plurality of simulated scenarios within a gaming area having a plurality of environments. The STS includes one or more memory units storing real-world collected data, one or more processing units, and a computer-readable medium. The real-world collected data includes background signatures related to the plurality of simulated environments. The computer-readable medium has encoded thereon computer-executable instructions to cause the one or more processing units to generate a target signature from real-world collected data, generate an environmental model from the real-world data, and combine the target signature with the environmental model to create a simulated scenario, of the plurality of simulated scenarios, for use in the gaming area. In this example, the environmental model corresponds to an environment of the plurality of environments.
