This paper describes the detection and classification of targets against clutter by distinguishing between linear and nonlinear scatterers and, further, by distinguishing those nonlinear targets that scatter energy at the even-powered harmonics from those that scatter in the odd-powered harmonics. This is done using twin inverted pulse sonar (TWIPS), which can also, in some manifestations, require no range correction (and therefore does not require the a priori knowledge of the environment…
