Counter Swarm Tactics
Abstract
Speed limitations, inertia and lack of maneuverability make US Navy ships vulnerable to attacks by swarms of smaller, faster, and potentially heavily armed boats. In order to disrupt a swarm attack and buy itself time to address the multiple threats, a commander needs to resort to non-traditional tactics to disrupt the implicit coordination mechanisms that underlie swarm attacks. This effort will build a computer simulation model of asymmetric naval swarm tactics, and use it to design and test counter-tactics to disrupt swarm attacks.
