Analysis of a submarine's evasive capability against an antisubmarine warfare torpedo using DEVS modeling and simulation

Abstract

The evasive capability of a costal conventional submarine against a light antisubmarine warfare (ASW) torpedo has been studied. The simulation systems are first analyzed and designed using Unified Modeling Language (UML). Then, the ASW torpedo, submarine, decoy and jammer model are developed using DEVS formalism and simulated in DEVSim++. We analyzed the submarine's evasive performance according to its maximum speed and acceleration as well as the sonar range of the ASW torpedo. We expect the results to be useful for the simulation based acquisition (SBA) of a submarine system.
