A method for automatic spotting using water column

This paper addresses the method for automatic measurement of projectile target deviation using water columns cause by underwater explosion. The detection and tracking of water column is operated according to the transformation of RCS of a water column. A model of water columns is described here, and a bi-parameter sea-clutter map was used as detection background in order to distinguish water columns from sea-spikes and low-velocity targets. Finally, the paper gives the actual experimental result that proves the correctness of the method
