A Barrier Search Model Using Active Bistatic Sonar to Protect a Channel

Abstract

Advances in nuclear and diesel-electric submarine technology have reduced the effectiveness of passive means of detection. The United States is faced with a multipolar threat in part due to the proliferation to Third World nations of advanced diesel-electric submarines. The use of active sonar must be explored to gain back the detection advantage the United States submarine force has enjoyed in the past. The use of bistatic sonar reduces the counter-detection threat resulting from active sonar. Bistatic active sonar, Two-person Zero-sum game, Submarine, ASW
