MODEL AND COMPUTER PROGRAM FOR AN ATTACK ON AN EVADING SUBMARINE

Abstract

A model and computer program for computing kill probabilities for an attack on an evading submarine are given. Various tactical situations and delivery methods can be treated by the model, which has available a wide range of input parameters. The model can be applied to a variety of situations: helicopter or ship vectoring another helicopter or aircraft to the attack, ASROC attack, etc. The weapon may be a torpedo or nuclear depth bomb. By way of illustration to explain the model, the case where a ship vectors an aircraft to the attack is treated in detail. (Author)
