Proposed use of Lybin in project Simson

Previous and present versions of the acoustic ray trace model Lybin are described briefly. The use of Lybin in FFI project Simson can be divided into three categories: simulation of submarine detection coverage, simulation of sonar response for operator training and simulation of sonar response for scientific analysis. The work needed to develop these tools is discussed and outlined. The tools will have the same mathematical kernel, but different user interfaces reflecting the users’ level of understanding and the desired functionality.
