NANCEE: an approach to barrier sonobuoy pattern optimization
nanceeapproachto00hilz.pdf (3.957Mb)Abstract
NANCEE is a computer simulation program which uses convolution
(or meeting) probabilities to determine which barrier type of
sonobuoy pattern has the highest probability of detection for a transiting
nuclear submarine.
The program assumes that the optimum barrier is a straight-line
one, two, or three row sonobuoy pattern containing not more than 48
sonobuoys. The barrier is centered on the submarine's expected line
of transit, oriented perpendicular to the submarine's course, and
placed far enough ahead of the submarine's position that all pattern
sonobuoys are in the water and being monitored before the submarine
enters the detection range of the sonobuoy pattern. If more than one
barrier is found to have the highest probability of detection, the one
with the least number of sonobuoys is selected as optimum.
NANCEE executes rapidly, and is easy to use and understand.
