Semi-Markov Models for Evaluating Naval Tactical Deception Concepts

Abstract

A semi-Markov model representation of a submarine searching for a high value target in a field of decoys is extended beyond previous work. The model has been used to assess the potentials of tactical deception concepts in modern antisubmarine warfare. The assessment results, including model sensitivity analyses, are published in a separate, classified, final project report. The technical note describes the details of the model's structure. The advantages of the earlier model are developed, and methods for numerical solution of the newer, larger model are examined. Model comparisons and sensitivity are explored. Suggestions for future extensions and modifications are provided.
