The advent of the missile firing submarine has added yet another
dimension to the problem of defending convoys and task groups during
ocean transit. The specific situation wherein the submarine must
surface to fire a relatively short range missile against a convoy of
ships is considered. The model developed considers several different
problem parameters. It enables the calculation of probability of
detection of the submarine, probability of killing the submarine before
a particular missile is fired, and the expected number of missiles that
the submarine will fire. Selected results from randomly selected
parameter values are also presented.
