Algorithm design and development for solving the target engagement problem on subsurface platforms

Abstract

Previous target engagement systems on subsurface platforms were electromechanical computers with highly complex mechanical structures, in which problems were idealized with predetermined parameters. With the current trend of digitalization, digital computers with high computational capabilities have replaced traditional electromechanical systems and are now installed and utilized on subsurface platforms. Based on theoretical studies of the AIUS (Automatic Information and Control System) on naval submarines, this paper presents research on the development of algorithms and software for target engagement using the established theoretical foundations. The proposed algorithm and software are then implemented and tested on a digital computer platform to evaluate their performance. The results demonstrate that the algorithm, when tested on a digital computer, achieves results comparable to those of electromechanical systems, with faster processing speed and the ability to adapt to continuous target movement.
