Open-Ocean ASW Air-Sea Craft System Feasibility Study. Volume 5. (Air-Sea Craft Open-Ocean Capabilities, Candidate Systems, and Cost Factors.)
Abstract
This volume presents an analysis of ASW air-sea craft open-ocean capabilities (Part I), a summary of candidate ASW air-sea craft vehicle-acoustic sensor systems (Part II), and ASW air-sea craft system cost factors (Part III). Part I presents the results of five brief analyses in an attempt to determine the limits of the capabilities of and problems associated with proposed types of air-sea craft vehicles in open-ocean takeoff, landing, and sea-sitting operations. Part II presents the characteristics of the potential candidate air- sea craft - acoustic sensor combinations and the rationale used in the selection, from the potential candidate systems of a limited number of air-sea craft systems for cost-effectiveness analyses. Part III presents a methodology for determining air-sea craft system cost factors, including numerical values for the various costs. The results of the studies in Parts II and III are utilized in Volume VI of this Report to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of air- sea craft operating in selected ASW missions.
