Abstract
Recent work has highlighted the benefits of exploiting robust

Capon beamformer (RCB) techniques in passive sonar.

Unfortunately, the computational requirements for computing

the standard RCB weights are cubic in the number of

adaptive degrees of freedom, which may be computationally

prohibitive in practical situations. Here, we examine recent

computationally efficient techniques for computing the RCB

weights and evaluate their performances for passive sonar.

We also discuss the implementation of these efficient algorithms

on parallel architectures, such as graphics processing

units (GPUs), illustrating that further significant speed-ups

are... (More)
