Research on the simulation of factors influencing maximum firing distance of acoustic homing torpedo

Abstract

In the torpedo attack, the appropriate firing distance is the key to ensure the torpedo hit the target, it’s necessary to ensure the firing distance used is within the maximum firing distance. Therefore, under the premise of known firing conditions, it’s necessary to determine the maximum firing distance and be familiar with the factors that affect the value and the influencing rules of each factor. Based on the firing model of the acoustic homing torpedo, the expression of the maximum firing distance is established, and the main factors affecting the value are obtained. Through the simulation, the influence factors are analyzed quantitatively, and the rule of their influence on the maximum firing distance is founded out. This research can provide the necessary reference for the commanding officer in battle, in order to make full use of the research results and improve the hit probability of the acoustic homing torpedo.
