System Design Considerations for a Bayesian Antisubmarine Warfare (ASW) Information Processor

Abstract

The study continues the investigation of methods for applying Bayesian statistics to the problem of locating submarines from data made available to an ASW Command Center. In particular, this study investigates methods for the simultaneous integration of data across an area containing possibly more than one, i.e., K, submarines, determination of 'probable tracks' and their 'validity' in conjunction with processes which determine a submarine 'density map' for display purposes, a generalization of the previous concept of submarine 'diffusion' (to represent unknown but possible submarine movements) in order to bring the model closer to the complexity of real operations, and a measurement of effectiveness of any combined ASW system, i.e., sensors plus data integration, concerning its localization of enemy submarines.
