Computational Techniques for Time-Optimal Control of Torpedo Dynamics.

Abstract

This report develops computational techniques for calculating time-optimal pursuit trajectories for an underwater torpedo. A comparative study of three classes of techniques is presented, the Epsilon Technique, the conjugate gradient method and the method of linearization. It is shown that a combination of the first and third techniques yields the best results. (Author)
