Michael Denigan; Michael Gunger; John Cunningham; LOCKHEED MARTIN CORP ORLANDO FL ELECTRONICS AND MISSILES
|
 | This paper reports the successful development and performance of a multipurpose warhead for the Hellfire missile. This blast-frag warhead was designed to perforate a target wall and detonate inside the compartment. The new warhead extends Hellfire's defeat capability to patrol boats and MOUT targets. The paper presents performance requirements, hydrocode and analytical analyses, and test results of the explosive load and warhead body. Test results include: (1) Half scale gun ... |

|
| In examining SSN operations, this paper first examines the traditional roles of the attack submarine, and then the evolution of its missions over the past five years to evaluate the impact of these changes on battle group and JTF operations. The paper then compares the SSN's capability to the Spruance-class destroyer; a common surface ship that is used for strike and shore bombardment operations. This paper then focuses on the ... |

Hideto Ito; NAVAL POSTGRADUATE SCHOOL MONTEREY CA
|
| Maritime operations in a littoral area demand a fundamental change in the future defense build-up of the Japanese Maritime Self Defense Force (JMSDF). The anti-air warfare (AAW) capability of the JMSDF in the littoral area, especially against very low altitude anti-ship cruise missiles (ASCMs), should be improved. To achieve the required future air defense lethality, the JMSDF must optimize the resource allocation within a limited budget. Therefore, it is important ... |

Charles P. McGrath; NAVAL COMMAND CONTROL AND OCEAN SURVEILLANCE CENTER RDT AND E DIV SAN DIEGO CA
|
| This report presents a case study of the Electro-Optical Tactical Decision Aid (EOTDA) version 3.0. Detection range data from an airborne forward- looking infrared (FLIR) sensor looking for a ship target in the open ocean off the coast of Monterey, California, are compared to the detection range predictions of the EOTDA. The results show reasonable accuracy during the clear weather portion of the tests, but the EOTDA grossly overpredicted detection ... |

|
| In the early years of World War II, few would have predicted that Mk 14 submarine-launched torpedo would play a major role in defeating the Japanese naval and merchant fleets. Initially a problem-plagued and unreliable weapon, the Mk 14 torpedo was the source of much ill will between the Navy's operational forces and weapon developers. But once its problems were corrected, the Newport- developed Mk 14 torpedo redeemed itself and ... |

|
| The objectives of this work are to develop robust ship track detection methods, demonstrate their utility using satellite imagery, and design the framework of an automated ship track detection system for operational use. The approach is to (1) use geographical and multispectral information to reduce the data stream greatly based on contexts for which ship tracks are physically allowed; (2) optimally enhance satellite images using multispectral signals; (3) apply state-of-the-art ... |

| The SSN-21 Class Attack Submarine (SSN-21) is a nuclear powered attack submarine that was designed to meet threats well into the 21st century. The SSN-21's missions include antisubmarine and antisurface warfare, strike warfare, ocean surveillance, and electronic and mine warfare. Research and development (R&D) of the SSN-21 began in 1984, and as of August 1991, about $1.6 billion of research, development, test, and evaluation (RDT&E) funds ... |

Vincent F. Giampaolo; NAVAL POSTGRADUATE SCHOOL MONTEREY CA
|
| Shiptracks are known to be a relatively common phenomenon, often appearing in AVHRR channel 3 imagery as anomalous, curvilinear cloud lines. Despite their significance to remote ship surveillance studies, the formation mechanisms responsible for shiptrack production are still largely unknown and their specific characteristics still undefined. A shiptrack detection algorithm being developed at the Naval Postgraduate School seeks to objectively detect and locate shiptracks on AVHRR imagery. This algorithm is ... |

| In 1910 the Navy was launching aircraft from ships and by 1923 had launched its first aircraft carrier. During World War I aircraft flew maritime patrols and conducted antisubmarine operations. In 1921 Gen. an early proponent of air power, demonstrated the effectiveness of aircraft in antiship operations by sinking three battleships at sea. During World War II the Air Force and the Navy developed a joint maritime war-fighting capability that ... |

| Current Soviet naval doctrine encompasses a strong blue water surface navy to project sea power to lines of communication throughout the world. As a result, the Soviet Navy is dramatically increasing its size and threat capability. To counter this threat, a hunter-killer team of the P-3C Orion and the B-52G Stratofortress with Harpoon anti-ship missiles could be used in an offensive role to relieve the pressure on U.S. Navy carrier ... |

| Authors:
A. D. Zimm; NAVAL POSTGRADUATE SCHOOL MONTEREY CA
|
| A simulation is developed (Linear Anti-Ship Missile Air Defense Simulation, or LASMADS) which models ship defenses under ASCM attack. Using this simulation, a firepower index is developed for current naval ships. The firepower index is used in a deterministric model which predicts the results of the ASCM-Surface ship engagement, and is responsive to the most important attack and defense characteristics and variables. Uses of firepower indexes as an operational planning ... |

|
| This Research Contribution presents a methodology and a set of computer programs for analyzing an attack on a nonevading surface ship by submarine(s) firing straight-running torpedoes. The model is compatible with ship vulnerability curves and may be used to compute the probability the target sustains a particular level of damage. (Author) |
