A time domain beamformer object oriented analysis and design

The paper describes the analysis and design of a time domain beamformer, using object modeling techniques, as a subset of a real-time sonar signal processing system. The goal is to illustrate the relationship of portability and reuse to object oriented analysis. This task is part of an initiative to foster the application of fast paced, emerging commercial technology to the development and acquisition of affordable strategic systems at the Naval Undersea Warfare Center (NUWC).
