As part of the Cassini mission to the Saturnian system a probe will be deployed in 2004 onto the surface of Titan. This probe, named Huygens, carries a set of acoustic devices to investigate the moon's atmosphere and surface. One part of the sensor package is an active sonar which is expected to yield topographic information about Titan's surface. A computer code has been written to model the sonar's operation over synthetic boundaries with known statistical properties. By examining the dependence of these simulated echoes on the surface properties an estimate may be made of the precision with which the landscape of Titan can be known.
