UConn ESP Lab's Counter-Stealth Algorithm

Implemented by the US Navy

A target that returns a sonar signal with average power 20 times stronger than the background noise (13 dB Signal to Noise Ratio) is relatively easy to detect.

However, if the SNR is 10 dB (power 10 times stronger than the noise) this becomes nearly impossible because its fluctuating intensity is only ~ 3 times stronger then the noise.

Our low SNR (stealthy) target detector can do it.
