Notebook on Nonacoustic Detection of Submarines
Abstract
The study described in this report was undertaken to seek out, in some organized way, new methods and means for detecting completely submerged submarines with particular emphasis on nonacoustic techniques for achieving search rates in excess of 1500 square nautical miles per hour. An approach was adopted in which scores of possible interactions of the submarine environment, and potential sensor through 'fields' associated with each were examined and subjected to 'back-of-the-envelope' feasibility calculations. Many of these calculations are included in this report. The coverage of the subject matter is extensive rather than intensive and phenomenological rather than technological. Several areas are recommended for further detailed study.
