Abstract:
A long wake with lots of bubbles is fo口ned behind a sailing ship , which provides a target feature of the ship. A wake homing torpedo detects target through wake to severely threaten surface ships. Since there is no effective countermeasure against the torpedo on a surface ship , it is imperative to develop the technology for countering wake homing torpedo. Based on wake features and operational principle of wake homing torpedo , this paper introduces some methods of soft kill , hard kill and non-kill ,such as gas generator , magnetic wake , torpedo net defense( TND) , depth bomb , anti-torpedo torpedo( ATT) , stealth , and evasive maneuver. We summarizes three key points in the defense against wake homing torpedo , including high perfo口nance torpedo alarm system , rapid response acoustic countermeasure system , and multi-functional acoustic countermeasure device , to provide approaches to effectively countering wake homing torpedo.

[Abstract](2340) [PDF 896KB](997)

Abstract:
Torpedo turbine engine has higher performance than piston engine in many aspects. Since higher speed and range is needed for torpedo to play it’ s role in the future combat , turbine engine will be a better choice for heavyweight thermal power torpedo.Digital simulation is an important step for torpedo turbine engine design. This paper investigates the modeling and simulation of unclosed cycle and partial flow two-stage impulse torpedo turbine in design condition and two non-design conditions. The control modes of turbine in non-design conditions are discussed. A simple control method for adjusting the switch nozzle during transition processes is presented. The simulation results show the reliability of the models. The proposed method can be used for designing , validating and optimizing torpedo turbine.

[Abstract](2544) [PDF 763KB](1138)

Abstract:
The key for torpedo to implement target pursuit is to design high performance guidance law. Based on equations of relative movements between torpedo and target , some state equations are built and a appropriate evaluation output signal is selected.Then using the H∞ control theory , a nonlinear H∞ guidance law for torpedo and the normalload are obtained by solving HamiltonJacobi inequation. Simulation is performed to verify the above research , and the result shows that the guidance law can help torpedo overtake target in a short time with light normalload. So the guidance law is effective for torpedo pursuit with high robustness. Therefore it can be used in design of guidance law for torpedo and anti-torpedo torpedo.

WANG Bai-he, HUANG Jian-guo, ZHANG Qun-fei

2007, 15(4): 022-25. doi: 10.11993/j.issn.1673-1948.2007.04.006

[Abstract](2060) [PDF 976KB](1260)

Abstract:
Target optimal decision is an important component of the underwater multi-target tracing( MTT) system. Imprecise information of target leads to a fuzzy optimization. The classical methods such as the analytic hierarchy process ( AHP) and the technique of order preference by similarity to ideal solution ( TOPSIS) require high precision and provide unstable result, so they are not applicable to the system of underwater MTT. A model for attacked target optimization in underwater MTT system was established based on gray relation optimal decision( GROD), to resolve the problems of target optimal decision in the process of underwater MTT and a miscarriage of justice of attacked target because of the imprecise information. An example was utilized to explain the application of GROD in underwater MTT system and compare the system effectiveness of AHP and TOPSIS methods.The results show that the effectiveness of GROD is improved by about 15 lJ毛compared with AHP, and about 10% with TOPSIS.The proposed model is simple, intuitive, feasible, and its result is more objective, stable, and effective.

[Abstract](1977) [PDF 894KB](1111)

Abstract:
Coning motion is a geometric effect of rigid motion , and coning error from coning motion is an essential error source of strapdown inertial navigation system (SINS). The kinematic mechanism of generating coning error indicates that coning error can be reduced through system design and compensatory algorithm , but can not be eliminated. The magnitude of coning error which is affected by the fixing error , gyro’ s quantizing error and frequency band , and so on is deduced based on the analysis of kinematic mechanism of coning error generation. Moreover , the Goodman-Robinson theory of rigid coning motion is introduced , and an effective correction algorithm of coning error is deduced with this theory. Simulation result shows that the effect of coning error on system precision can be reduced via improved hardware precision and software compensation.

[Abstract](1958) [PDF 794KB](855)

Abstract:
In order to effectively and quickly identify the parameters of random drifts (startup, slow and fleet) of fiber optic gyro( FOG) , the random drift of FOG is modeled as a equation of state with unknown model parameters (correlation coefficient of slow drift) , the unknown model parameters and white noise covariance of slow and fleet drifts are identified based on the time series analysis , and the coupling among three items of the random drift is computed with Kalman filter/ smoother. The real data of random drift of FOG is identified with the model to verify its applicability , and the result suggests that this method accurately compute all of the random drifts and the parameters of FOG. The present method could be used for revising navigation error of FOG as it works alone or in combination with other equipment.

2007, 15(4): 038-41. doi: 10.11993/j.issn.1673-1948.2007.04.010

[Abstract](2204) [PDF 818KB](1137)

Abstract:
Flow characteristics of underwater vehicle are directly related to their control surfaces. In order to enhance the stability of a vehicle during its wetted and supercavitating stage , the cavity profiles and the lift/drag force acting on the fins are numerically analyzed under different flow regimes (e. g. different flow angles , with and without rear body , and cavitation number effects).The obtained results show that drag coefficient descends firstly and then ascends with the increased flow angle. The fin with rear body could provide higher efficiency at small cavitation number , while the fin with or without rear body provides similar performance as the cavitation number increases. These basic characteristics of different fins show the importance of reasonable shape to the stability of motion projectile.

2007, 15(4): 045-48. doi: 10.11993/j.issn.1673-1948.2007.04.012

[Abstract](2029) [PDF 856KB](885)

Abstract:
Taking-up position capability of submarine is a capability to take up favorable firing position to ensure certain hitting or acquisition probability of torpedo. Based on the analysis of the key factors ( including the stealth capability and anti-strike capability of submarine , and the detection capability ,attack capability and time of taking up position of target , etc. ) , taking-up position feasibility is discussed with a conclusion that different positions lead to quite different taking-up position capabilities affected by the key factors. Based on Markov chain , a new model of taking-up position capability is established , where the stealth capability , the anti - strike capability , the detection capability , the attack capability , the time of taking-up position , and the relations among all key factors are all considered. This model makes up for the deficiency due to ignoring the influence of each key factor on the taking-up position capability and the relations among the key factors in the conventional model. An example verifies the feasibility of the new model.
