Models of Acoustic Deception and ASW Support in a Task Group Operating Area
Abstract
Three Markov models are developed and applied to some of the problems involving acoustic deception decoys and ASW forces. The scenario involves an enemy submarine searching for a high value unit in a large operating area. Several acoustic deception devices are randomly deployed in the area to draw the submarine's fire. One of the major conclusions of the study is that the effectiveness of acoustic decoys depends on whether or not the submarine expects deception to be used. Another conclusion is that the deployment of the ASW forces (deployed with the high value unit or divided among the acoustic deception units) is not a critical problem.
