Decision-Making Process of an Antisubmarine Warfare Commander

Abstract

This thesis represents a study of the decision-making process of an Anti-submarine Warfare Commander (ASWC). Several real world operational issues are analyzed and discussed as to how they can influence his thought process when making decisions. One approach to model this individual's thought process was accomplished by ALPHATECH, INC. By utilizing an ASW scenario, it evaluates how an ASWC makes his tactical decisions to track submarines based upon pieces of received acoustical information. In order to improve this model's representation of a realistic operational environment, a conceptual ASWC decision-making model is provided here. Keywords: Kalman filters; AN/SQQ-89 towed-array; LAMPS MK III; sonobuoy; hull-mounted sonar.
