  • Abstract
    Sea mines present a danger to commercial shipping, military operations, relief efforts, and can impact a nation´s homeland and economic security. This paper presents results of using evolutionary neural networks or rule-based classifiers to discriminate between active sonar returns from simulated sea mines and other background. The results indicate that both evolutionary methods can be used with considerable success
