Testing Scheme Design on Capability of Hovering Depth Charge Weapon System to Intercept Torpedo

For the assessment requirements of capability of hovering depth charge weapon system to intercept torpedo, a testing mode combining actual weapon launch with simulated launch is proposed. On the basis of the design idea of test route, specific testing methods are offered, including the method for determining the deployment area of assistant positioning buoy, the video recording scheme of depth charge water-entry point, and the testing data processing method, etc. Through testing, the assessment of the weapon system’s deployment capability and complete operation process is realized, and the capability of the weapon system to intercept torpedo can be evaluated objectively. Sea trial verifies the operability and practicability of the proposed design idea of test scheme, the video recording scheme for water entry point of depth charge, and the data processing method.
