In this chapter we introduce the theory behind sonar micro-Doppler signatures and highlight advantages and disadvantages with respect to their radar counterpart. We present the results of two experimental trials carried out at (1) the U.S. Army Research Laboratory and (2) University College London in which sonar micro-Doppler signatures of personnel targets were collected at 40 and 80 kHz, respectively. This chapter shows that ultrasound sensors could represent a cost-effective alternative to radar systems for applications that do not require long-range detection. They certainly demonstrate that target detection and possibly classification by ultrasound micro-Doppler signatures are achievable and they might potentially open up a new research avenue looking at the exploitation of these techniques in future systems.
