A Comparative Analysis of a CV Helicopter and a JVX (Joint Services Advanced Vertical Lift) Tilt-Rotor Aircraft in an Aircraft Carrier Based ASW (anti-Submarine Warfare)

Abstract

This thesis analyzes the environmental compatibility and the potential performance capabilities of two proposed types of vertical flight capable aircraft in an aircraft carrier Anti-Submarine role. The aircraft compared are the CV Helicopter(SH-60F) and an ASW variant of the Joint Services Advanced Vertical Lift (JVX) tilt-rotor aircraft. This thesis compares their adaptability and relative expected mission effectiveness by analyzing their physical dimensions and characteristics and their projected flight performance parameters. Their expected performance in a specific scenario, an ASW pouncer mission employing active dipping sonar, is analyzed using a simulation model. Keywords: Time On-Station; Search and rescue; Flight deck; Detection probability; Helicopter in-flight refueling; Tilt-rotor; and Dipping sonar.
