ABSTRACT:
Discrimination of long range targets from short range targets is provided by generating a vertical dipole beam and a narrow uni-directional horizontal beam which may be steered. Targets in the dipole beam are short range targets whose acoustic signals arrive at angles to the horizontal plane, whereas long range targets are those in the horizontal beam, since acoustic signals from long range targets come in on the horizontal plane.
