Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This military history explores more than a century of aerial submarine hunting, from WWI through the Cold War and beyond. U. S. Navy veteran Michael Glynn served as a submarine hunting pilot. Now he chronicles the evolution of this unique combat role from the Great War through the Battle of the Atlantic in World War II and on to secret Cold War confrontations. He traces the parallel evolution of both aircraft and submarine as each side tries to gain advantage. Through his expert analysis, Glynn distills complicated oceanography, operations analysis, and technical theory, helping the reader understand how complex weapons and sensors function. He also examines submarine hunts in action, showing how theory and practice work together to help aviators detected their targets.

Download or read book Anti Submarine Warfare written by David Owen and published by Seaforth Publishing. This book was released on 2007-11-15 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The submarine was undoubtedly the most potent purely naval weapon of the twentieth century. In two world wars, enemy underwater campaigns were very nearly successful in thwarting Allied hopes of victory - indeed, annihilation of Japanese shipping by US Navy submarines is an indicator of what might have been. That the submarine was usually defeated is a hugely important story in naval history, yet this is the first book to treat the subject as a whole in a readable and accessible manner. It concerns individual heroism and devotion to duty, but also ingenuity, technical advances and originality of tactical thought. What developed was an endless battle between forces above and below the surface, where a successful innovation by one side eventually produces a counter-measure by the other in a lethal struggle for supremacy. Development was not a straight line: wrong ideas and assumptions led to defeat and disaster.

Download or read book Airborne Maritime Surveillance Radar written by Simon Watts and published by Morgan & Claypool Publishers. This book was released on 2018-08-14 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today, air-to-surface vessel (ASV) radars, or more generally maritime surveillance radars, are installed on maritime reconnaissance aircraft for long-range detection, tracking and classification of surface ships (ASuW - Air to Surface Warfare) and for hunting submarines (ASW - anti-submarine warfare). Such radars were first developed in the UK during WWII as part of the response to the threat to shipping from German U-Boats. This book describes the ASV radars developed in the UK after WWII (1946-2000) and used by the RAF for long-range maritime surveillance.

Book excerpt: Designed to locate and sink German U-boats in the Battle of the Atlantic, the escort carrier USS Bogue (CVE-9) became the most successful Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) carrier of World War II. This book covers the construction and commissioning of the Bogue, as well as the deployment of Naval Aviation composite squadrons that launched missions from the flight deck. Day-to-day operations are chronicled in comprehensive detail, along with developments in ASW tactics and the breaking of Germany's Enigma Naval Code, which enabled U.S. Navy forces in the Atlantic to take the offensive.
Download or read book Human Factor Problems in Anti submarine Warfare a Preliminary Analysis of Target Classification Information Obtained from the An aqs 10 Airborne Sonar System written by Raymond A. Gavin and published by . This book was released on 1966 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Motion picture photography of representative submarine and nonsubmarine target pips on the PPI scope, and synchronous recording of the audio signals were used to investigate the information displayed by the AN/AQS-10 sonar system for target classification. It was found that the PPI display provides unreliable indications of target shape and orientation under most operating conditions. The PPI information is further degraded by operational problems associated with the range and bearing cursor, the expanded sweep mode, and the dependence of the keying cycle on range scale in use. The audio display provides discriminable doppler, given target speed components (in the sound beam) as low as 2 kts, although its perception is made somewhat difficult by the chordal quality of the audio. Recommendations for improvement of the system are made with particular emphasis on display techniques that would enhance the determinability of target motion. The development of training films from the target data recordings is recommended.

Download or read book Forgotten Weapon written by William F. Althoff and published by US Naval Institute Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Airships are the forgotten weapon of World War II. Forgotten Weapons analyzes the development of airships as weapons for antisubmarine warfare, examines how scientists and airmen collaborated to combat U-boats and reveals the little-known accomplishments of airship crews. As William F. Althoff demonstrates, the naval airship logged an admirable operational record during the Battle of the Atlantic, the longest continued armed contest during the war. Their useful deployment depended first, however, on effective collaboration between naval airmen and government-sponsored research institutions, such as the National Defense Research Committee (NDRC). The Battle of the Atlantic saw a race to gain technological advantage German measures met by Allied counter measures with both sides producing various weapons and sensors designed either to destroy or to protect Allied merchant shipping. For the antisubmarine campaign, U.S. contract laboratories devised the magnetic airborne detector (MAD), microwave radar, the Loran long-range navigation systems, radio sono-buoys, and pattern ordnance, all of which were fitted to airships. Key NDRC projects exploited lighter-than-air platforms for airborne tests. Hurried into production, special devices for antisubmarine warfare were fitted onto fleet airships as well as in airplanes and surface forces. The result turned the tide against the U-boat menace and saved countless lives, supplies, and shipping. This book is an invaluable history and reference for readers interested in airships, antisubmarine warfare, the Battle of the Atlantic, and the bygone squadrons of unique airmen who helped defeat the Nazi war on commerce from 1939 to 1945.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report summarizes the analysis and algorithm design for the application of adaptive decision aiding methodlogy to airborne ASW operation. The objective focuses on the transition of the ADDAM (Adaptive Decision Aiding Methodology) to the decision functions of the Tactical Coordination Officers (TACCO) in the P3 aircraft. The report reviews the P3 ASW decision environment, describes the mission objectives, analyzes the TACCO decision tasks, and reviews currently available computational and decision aids. Methodology used in submarine tracking are reviewed. Detailed decision analysis of the TACCO decision task is described and mapped into decision theoretic concepts in terms of decision trees, probabilities, and utilities. Algorithms for employing adaptive decision aiding within the TACCO decision task are developed for a set of decisions involving sensor pattern selection and number of sensors per pattern for a given probability distribution of submarine locations. An adaptive utility model is developed together with utility and probability assessment procedures. An implementation plan is described for a demonstration system which will be operated in the real P3 aircraft computer under simulation conditions. (Author).
