                Vehicles (AUVs) is of great interest for harbor security. The imaging sensors
                generally used for target localization and classification are expensive for
                outfitting multiple AUVs and produce data that is difficult to use for
                real-time onboard classification. An approach to this problem has been
                developed in which an acoustic source insonifies targets and AUVs with
                inexpensive hydrophone nose arrays are used to sample the resulting scattered
                fields. These scattered fields consist of distinctive radiation patterns,
                where the amplitude sampled by a receiving AUV for a particular target is
                determined by source frequency, aspect angle between source and target, and
                bistatic angle between source and receiver. AUV behaviors were developed to
                control the bistatic angles relative to a localized target between source and
                receiver vehicles and aspect angle between a target and the source. Two
                configurations were explored: bistatic, where the source is fixed and receiver
                moving, and multistatic, where both source and receiver are located on mobile
                autonomous vehicles. Design considerations for behaviors to sample different
                combinations of bistatic angle and aspect angle included keeping receiving
                arrays broadside to a target for uniform-quality data collection and obeying
                vehicle dynamics constraints. Behaviors for the bistatic configuration were
                demonstrated in AUV experiments, and behaviors for the multistatic case were
                demonstrated in simulation, including collaboration between source and
                receiver vehicles for controlling bistatic versus aspect angle.}}
