In this paper a modern approach was developed to solve the passive localization problem in ocean acoustics using the state-space formulation. It is shown that the inherent structure of the resulting processor consists of a parameter estimator coupled to a nonlinear optimization scheme. The parameter estimator is design using an acoustic propagation model in developing the modern identifier required for localization. The detection and localization of an acoustic source has long been the motivation of early sonar systems. With the advent of quieter and quieter submarines due to new manufacturing technologies and the next proliferation of diesel powered vessels, the need for more sophisticated processing techniques has been apparent for quite some time.
