Track Spacing for An Archimedes Spiral Search by a Maritime Patrol Aircraft (MPA) in Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) Operations

Abstract

The military threat of hostile submarines is increasing and the need for effective Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) operations is also increasing. In response, the ROK government and military have improved their ASW capabilities. In this thesis, the recommended track spacing for an Archimedes spiral search in a datum search problem was studied. To find a recommended track spacing, three analytical approaches were explored. Each of three analytical approaches has its own strengths and weaknesses. This analysis combined three analytical functions into a single parameterized expression. To find the best-fit parameters maximizing probability of detection, a simulation experiment with a NOLH (Nearly Orthogonal Latin Hypercube) design was used.
