Operational Simulation and Efficiency Analysis of Torpedo Electromagnetic Fuse Jammer

Abstract

Torpedo electromagnetic fuse jammers are a type of weapon equipment used against wake-homing torpedoes in the wake area of surface ships. The operational parameters of the jammer determine its countering effectiveness. Therefore, to ensure that the torpedo electromagnetic fuse jammer can produce sufficient counter-effectiveness, a operational model for the jammer is built, and simulation research is conducted on the relationship between deployment interval, deployment quantity, operating radius, and success probability of using a torpedo electromagnetic fuse jammer against wake-homing torpedoes. The simulation results show that the use of such jammers can effectively protect surface ships and their operational capabilities, and the three parameters have a significant influence on the success probability of using electromagnetic fuse jammers against wake-homing torpedoes. By analyzing the simulation results, it can be concluded that the best combination of the jammer deployment interval and quantity which satisfying the requirements of the jamming effect can be obtained for a certain operating radius. This research provides a valuable reference for the determination of torpedo electromagnetic fuse jammer performance indexes.
