A Computer Program to Model Passive Acoustic Antisubmarine Search Using Monte Carlo Simulation Techniques.

Abstract

This thesis presents a computer program (written in FORTRAN) which uses Monte Carlo techniques to simulate a one-searcher, one-target passive acoustic ASW search that terminates at detection. A threshold crossing detection model is used, and stochastic variations in the acoustic signal are modeled using either a Lambda-Sigma Jump or Gauss-Markov error process. Both platforms have the capability of detecting each other, and area and barrier searches are modeled. Features of the program include interactive data input, extensive use of graphical displays, and thorough statistical analysis of the results of the simulation.
