Modelled sonar and target depth distributions for active sonar operations in realistic environments

This paper proposes an algorithm for generating distributions of sonar depth and the depth of an adversarial target in a realistic environment, based on calculating the Nash equilibrium strategies of the two parties, with the inputted probability of detection modelled by an acoustic ray tracer, Lybin. The method is demonstrated in a sample environment and shows superior performance when compared to simpler distributions. The study explores the application of this method for tactical simulations, emphasizing the importance of accurate modeling of submarine behavior for simulations. The paper concludes by discussing future work related to sampling environmental parameters for more robust strategies.
