Abstract
The problem of detecting an enemy submarine whose possible position was revealed by the hit of a torpedo is known as the "Flaming Datum" problem. All previous studies devoted to this theme make unrealistic assumptions about the speed of the escaping target when dealing with a diesel-electric submarine. In this kind of submarine the constraint imposed by the remaining charge of its batteries determines that its behavior is essentially conservative in how fast it should escape. The objective of this thesis is to explore the idea of varying speed in the flaming datum problem. Two different approaches are considered. An analytical model is developed based on the relationship among some of the physical factors that could determine or constrain the behavior of a diesel submarine while escaping from the area of the flaming datum. The second approach considers a discrete event simulation using the Java-based Simkit package. Data analysis is used to determine a possible fit for the simulation results. Several tactics are explored to determine their effects on detection probability

    The Diesel Submarine Flaming Datum Problem 

    Hohzaki, R.; Washburn, A.R. (2001);
    The Flaming Datum problem is one of relocating an enemy target that is fleeing after momentarily reveling its position. A diesel submarine faces this problem after attacking a ship, since the ship creates a visible marker ...

    A genetic algorithm based anti-submarine warfare simulator 

    Timmerman, Michael Jay (Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1993-09);
    This research was aimed at improving the genetic algorithm used in an earlier anti-submarine warfare simulator. The problem with the earlier work was that it focused on the development of the environmental model, and did ...
