•Figure 1b: Vessels of Opportunity – Map Monostatic vs. Bistatic Detections • Real-Time software written in C code has been developed by Codar
Bistatic Vessel Detection has been implemented at our BRNT site. Ocean Sensors.
IIR Median Results showed that bistatic detections can be advantageous in certain • First implementation of the software was at SEAB located in Sea
situations. The tug boat, “Dace Reinauer,” was detected in this study. Bright, NJ on April 5th, 2011.
• Real-time visualization is accomplished via a stand-alone MATLAB
