Countering short range ballistic missiles
ADA261056_Redacted.pdf (1.551Mb)Abstract
Concepts commonly found in ASW search are used to model the flow and detection of mobile launchers for short range ballistic missiles. Emphasis is on detection and destruction of the launcher before launch. The benefit of pre-hostility intelligence and pre-missile-launch prosecution, the backbone of successful ASW, is revealed through the analysis of a circulation model which reflects the standard operations of a third world mobile missile launcher during hostilities. A decision model is constructed and analyzed to give insight into the development of pre-hostility intelligence policies.

Search radar track-before-detect using the Hough transform
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1995-03);Detection of small targets in the presence of noise and sea clutter interference presents a formidable task in a radar system design. Conventional radar detection schemes, such as spectral discrimination and noncoherent ... -
Visual detection of vehicular targets from attack aircraft.
(Monterey, California: U.S. Naval Postgraduate School, 1960);Attack aircraft on interdiction or deep support missions are faced with the problem of detecting their targets by visual means. Much has been written about the general theory of computing detection probabilities associated ... -
Passive and active sonar prosecution of diesel submarines by nuclear submarines
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 2008-03);This study analyses the trend for initial detection times using both passive and active sonar during submarine-on-submarine operations. Specifically, it simulates a nuclear powered submarine (SSN) searching for a diesel ...
