Analysis of Salvo Test and Evaluation for Two Torpedoes

There exist differences in torpedo salvo test method and evaluation standard. According to the definition of the salvo test for torpedoes and the factor that influences the performance of torpedo salvo, the requirement for evaluating the salvo performance of acoustic homing torpedo during the whole process of search, tracking and attack is proposed in this paper. Then an optimal salvo test scheme following the evaluation standards is recommended. And a new salvo test method for wake homing torpedoes is presented, (which includes at first launching single torpedo to pass through its own wakes at different angles for several times so as to check whether the wake homing torpedo can detect the torpedo wake or not, and then deciding whether the wake homing torpedoes salvo can be performed, finally conducting salvo test.
