Maximizing the probability an aerial anti-submarine torpedo detects its target

Abstract

As a result of the high speed of anti-submarine patrol aircraft as well as their wide range, high efficiency and other characteristics, aerial torpedoes released by anti-submarine patrol aircraft have become the key anti submarine tool. In order to improve operational efficiency, a deep study was made of the target detection probabilities for aerial torpedoes released by anti-submarine patrol aircraft. The operational modes of aerial torpedoes were analyzed and mathematical-simulation models were then established. The detection probabilities of three attacking modes were then calculated. Measures were developed for improving low probabilities of detection when attacking a probable target position. This study provides an important frame of reference for the operation of aerial torpedo released by anti-submarine patrol aircraft.

摘 要

由于反潜巡逻机具有速度快、 范围大、 效率高、 能力强等特点, 从而使得反潜巡逻机投放的空投鱼雷成为现代反潜力量的最重要的组成部分。 为了提高作战效能, 有必要对反潜巡逻机投放空投鱼雷发现概率进行深入的研究, 该文分析研究了反潜巡逻机投放空投鱼雷的作战使用方式, 并建立了仿真数学模型, 对其三种攻击方式下的发现概率进行了计算分析, 对向潜艇大概位置点攻击方法造成的发现概率偏低的问题提出了改进措施, 可为反潜巡逻机空投鱼雷作战使用提供重要的参考依据。
