SUBMARINE TATICAL GEOMETRIES DURING ENEMY VEHICLE ATTACK USING NOVEL STATISTICAL STOCHASTIC NON LINEAR FILTER

Abstract

Particle filter is proposed for tracking a torpedo using bearings-only measurements when torpedo is attacking an ownship. Towed array is used to generate torpedo bearing measurements. Ownship evasive maneuver is used for observability of the bearings-only process. Particle filter combined with Modified Gain Bearings-Only Extended Kalman Filter is used to estimate torpedo motion parameters, which are used to calculate optimum ownship evasive maneuver. Monte-Carlo simulation is carried out and the results are presented for typical scenarios.
