MODEL AND COMPUTER PROGRAM FOR CALCULATING THE KILL PROBABILITIES FOR CERTAIN ASW TACTICS,

Abstract

A model and computer program designed to compute kill probabilities for certain firing tactics waged against an evading submarine is described. The model was developed assuming that the attack is imminent and that the weapon will be directed at the point where the submarine was last contacted. The model's design is centered around a determination of sets of points which represent the locus of the evading submarine. The locus is determined by variation of a simple evasion tactic. The aimpoint is considered to be circularly, normally distributed about a true position of the submarine at the time of last contact. (Author)
