Project on deployment of active sonobuoys for anti-submarine area blockade

Abstract

This paper mainly studies the deployment scheme of the single base sonar and bistatic sonobuoys with the least number of sonars when blocking the potential area of the target submarine. Under ideal sea conditions, the minimum amount of sonar is required when the intersection line between the detection area and the target area is the diameter of the detection area. Therefore, a bistatic optimal array scheme is proposed in this paper. In the same equivalent radius, the difference between the number of sonars required by this scheme and the optimal array of single-base sonar is only -1 to 1. Finally, this paper verifies the effectiveness of the deployment scheme through experimental simulation, and calculates the number of sonar required for each scheme, which has guiding value for the anti-submarine area blockade.
