A system for target detection and localization with an algorithm for performing target motion analysis (TMA) using data from a passive sonar array and which works directly with beam spectra to estimate the target track. The system determines when the coordinate trajectory of a hypothesized target aligns with the coordinate trajectory of an actual target and operates by forming long-term integrated spectral values from short-term values of frequency and angle coordinate values. The hypothesized target track that yields the maximum long-term integrated spectral value is used as the estimate of the true target track. A track generator is used to generate hypothesized target tracks for a search grid in the form of vectors that are clocked downward in a chain of latches. The latches are connected through computational elements, which are supplied with non-acoustic data, and RAMs to a summation pipeline, the RAMs being supplied with data from an array's sonar processor. The computational elements compute and provide angle and frequency addresses to the RAMs whose outputs are applied to adders in the summation pipeline. Each RAM holds data for a single two-dimensional FRAZ spectrum. The summation pipeline supplies a completed sum of short-term spectral values at its output to provide the required long-term integrated spectral values.
