Abstract
The inverse beamformer (IBF) is a signal-processing algorithm developed for underwater applications. The advanced processor build (APB) is a recently developed process for sonar test and evaluation. This correspondence descri bes both and summarizes the results of an independent ''data-driven'' test and evaluation of the IBF by using the APE. Discussion includes the underly ing reasons for gains observed over conventional systems and applicability to uncluttered acoustical environments. [S0001-4966(00)04106-0].
