I would like to dedicate this report to my wife, Dara Marie, and to our 14-month-old daughter, Sabrina Fair. Thank you for providing me with the quiet time I needed to complete this report. Once again, I can join in the chase. And also to my parents and extended family, for their encouragement, and for always stressing the value of education. Acknowledgements I would like to thank the talented people in the Advanced Sonar Group at Applied Research Laboratories, The University of Texas at Austin, for their years of guidance and support, and for providing me the time and equipment to produce this research. I would especially like to thank Terry Brudner, Mike DeSimone, Steve Morrissette, and Jeff Napper for their insight and assistance.
