Study on Salvo Method of Rocket Homing Depth Charges

Taking Germany Seapike as an example, we establish a virtual trajectory model and a detecting model of a rocket homing depth charge based on the data from public reports and routine hypothesis, offer its salvo method, and compare the simulated hit probabilities of depth charge salvos with different number of depth charges. The results show that in typical conditions, 3 charges salvo could achieve the best cost-efficiency ratio, and higher hit probability of depth charge salvo can be obtained in the case of shorter target distance and larger maneuver.
