These modern sonar systems collect, process, store, disseminate, and display sensor data. Rapid advances in processing techniques, co mputing power, and sensor technology present a new challenge – sonar operators require extensive training and experience in order to deal with an enormous amount of acoustic data using 2D display and interac tion tools, which have remained nearly unchanged in the past 25 years. Fraunhofer CRCG and the Naval Undersea Warfare Center present a highly interactive Large Scale Visualization Environment (LSVE) for performing the essential task
