Abstract: Ships made of ferromagnetic metals interfere with Earth's magnetic
field in their surrounding. The disturbance of the magnetic field makes
possible localization and even identification of the ship, which could
determine a threat to the ship. The measurement of the magnetic field around
the ship enables to determine its magnetic signature. The paper presents a
multidipoles model of the ship magnetic field, which allows to determine
parameters of the ship magnetic signature.
