Source localization in a randomly inhomogeneous oceanic waveguide with unknown parameters using adaptive generalized Music algorithm

A generalized robust MUSIC algorithm is constructed, that allows to localize an acoustic source under the conditions of incomplete information on a random propagation channel. Under the assumption that the main mechanism causing the sound scattering is a fully-developed wind waves, the results of statistical modeling and experimental testing of the proposed method characterizing its performance in real shallow water are presented.
