On the localization of an acoustic target using a single receiver

This paper addresses the localization of an unsynchronized acoustic source using a single receiver and a synthetic baseline. The enclosed work was applied in a real search of an electric glider that was lost at sea and later recovered, using the described approach. The search procedure is presented along with the localization methods and a metric based on the eigenvalues of the Fisher Information Matrix is used to quantify the expected uncertainty of the estimate.
