Energy flow analysis (EFA) has been used to predict the frequency-averaged vibrational responses of built-up structures at high frequencies. In this study, the frequency-averaged exact energetics of the in-plane motions of the plate were derived for the first time by solving coupled partial differential equations. To verify the EFA for the in-plane waves of the plate, numerical analyses were performed on various coupled plate structures. The prediction results of the EFA for coupled plate structures were shown to be accurate approximations of the frequency-averaged exact energetics, which were obtained from classical displacement solutions. The accuracy of the results predicted via the EFA increased with an increase in the modal density, regardless of various structural parameters. Therefore, EFA is an effective technique for predicting the frequency-averaged vibrational responses of built-up structures in the high frequency range.

Maritime patrol aircraft is an efficient solution for detecting submarines at sea. The aircraft can only detect submarines by sonobuoy, but the number of buoy is limited. In this paper, we present the online sonobuoy deployment method for estimating the location of submarines. We use Gaussian process regression to estimate the submarine existence probability map, and Bayesian optimization to decide the next best position of sonobuoy. Further, we show the performance of the proposed method by simulation.

This study develops a simulator for determining the sonar sensor configuration of unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs) based on a scenario, in order for UUVs to conduct an effective anti-submarine warfare (ASW). First, we analyze the missions and operational concepts of UUVs in the field of ASW, and then select a Hold-at-Risk scenario as the one with the highest priority. Next, for modeling the components of a simulator, the motion, acoustic characteristic, and environment condition of the platforms (UUV and target submarine) are specified. Especially, based on the beam pattern of each sonar configuration considered in this paper, the passive sonar equation is used to verify target detection, and we further estimate the azimuth and elevation of the target using amplitude and phase of the received signal, respectively. The simulation results show the performance tendency depending on the sonar sensor configurations of a UUV, and the simulator provides a high applicability under various scenarios.

In modern naval ships, the design of submarines has continually evolved to improve survivability and it is also important to design ship against shock response. Exiting underwater ship design has been peformed due to results of static analysis considering shock acceleration by simple method. However, it can not be anticipated good assesment. The present study applied the Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) technique, a fluid-structure interaction approach, to simulate an underwater explosion and investigate the survival capability of a damaged submarine liquefied oxygen tank. The Lagrangian-Eulerian coupling algorithm and the equations of state for explosives and seawater were also reviewed. It is shown that underwater explosion analysis using the ALE technique can accurately evaluate structural damage after attack. This procedure could be applied quantitatively to real structural design.

This paper presents a bistatic to monostatic conversion technique to analyze the bistatic target strength of submarines. The technique involves determining the transmission path length of acoustic waves, which are emitted from a source, scattered off an underwater target, and eventually received by a receiver. By generating a corresponding virtual scattering surface, this method effectively transforms the target strength analysis problem from bistatic to monostatic. The converted monostatic target strength problem can be assessed using a well-established monostatic numerical methods. The bistatic target strength analysis for Benchmark Target Strength Simulation (BeTTSi), a widely used target strength model were performed. The results were compared with those calculated by boundary element methods and Kirchhoff approximation, and confirmed the validity and the practical applicability of the proposed analysis technique for evaluating submarine target strength.

To perform the engagement level simulation between the underwater vehicle model and the surface model those are constituted with various systems/ sub-systems, we implemented four different federates as a federation according to the IEEE 1516 HLA (High Level Architecture) protocol that is the international standard in the distributed simulation. Those are CFCS (Command and Fire Control System) federate, motion federate, external entities (torpedos, countermeasure and surfaceship) federate, and visualization federate that interacts with OSG (Open Scene Graph)-based visualization rendering module. In this paper, we present the detailed method about the model constitution for discrete event simulation in the distributed environment. For the sake of this purpose, we introduce the DEVS (Discrete Event System Specification)-HLA-based modeling method of the CFCS federate that reflects not only the interations between models, but also commands from user and tactics manager that is separated from the model. The CFCS federate makes decisions in various missions such as the normal diving, the barrier misision, the target motion analysis, the torpedo launch, and the torpedo evasion. In the perspective of DEVS modeling, the CFCS federate is the coupled model that has the tactical data process model, command model and fire control model as an atomic model. The message passing and time synchronization with other three federates are settled by the $m\ddot{a}k$ RTI (Runtime Infrastructure) that supports IEEE 1516. In this paper, we provides the detailed modeling method of the complicated model that has hierarchical relationship such as the CFCS system in the submarine and that satisfies both of DEVS modeling method for the discrete event simulation and HLA modeling method for the distributed simulation.

In order to study the resistance test technique for the submerged body in Large Cavitation Tunnel (LCT), DARPA Suboff, submarine model publicly available was manufactured. DTRC released the resistance test data of DARPA Suboff conducted at ship speeds up to 18.0 knots in high-speed towing tank in 1990. As LCT is considered restricted waterways with walls, the resistance test results must be corrected with three wall blockage effects called buoyancy effect, solid blockage effect and wake blockage effect. Before correction, the resistance of LCT was 16~20 % higher than that of DTRC. After correction, the resistance and the resistance coefficients were compared with those of DTRC. The corrected resistance of LCT shows good agreement with that of DTRC. The residual resistance coefficient shows the difference according to the calculation method of buoyancy and frictional resistance coefficient. This paper suggests the best way for the calculation of residual resistance coefficient, On the basis of the present study, it is thought that the operating conditions for the propeller cavitation and noise tests can be drawn through LCT tests.

In order to study the self-propulsion test and analysis techniques for the submerged body in Large Cavitation Tunnel (LCT). DARPA Suboff, a submarine model publicly available was manufactured. The resistance results of DARPA Suboff was acquired from the LCT tests and compared with those of DTRC. After the wall blockage correction, the resistance results of LCT were in good agreement with those of DTRC. On the basis of the resistance results of LCT, the self-propulsion tests were conducted in LCT. The test objective was to get the full-scale propeller operating conditions for the propeller cavitation and noise tests. The test results of DARPA Suboff were analyzed in a way similar to the analysis techniques of those of the Towing Tank (TT). Another submerged body, for which self-propulsion tests were conducted in TT, was selected for results verification. The results of LCT were in good agreement with those of TT. On the basis of the present study, it is thought that the operating conditions for the full-scale submerged body can be drawn through LCT tests.

Underwater, signals are transmitted by sound waves. Sound waves are transmitted through a multipath, either directly or through reflection, due to the variety of underwater environmental characteristics. In such diverse and complex underwater environments, tests must be conducted to determine the extent of the hazard from the survivability and pitfalls of submarines by measuring the underwater radiated noise. Usually, the sound source level measurement of underwater radiated noise should be made within the closest point (CPA: Closest Point of Approach) ± a few meters between the measurement sensor and the submarine. In this study, FDOA and TDOA methods were proposed to estimate the underwater source range. A simulation based on the underwater channel model confirmed the performance of the proposed method.

UPRT(Upset Prevention And Recovery Training) is an accident prevention training program developed over a three-year period after the main cause of aircraft accidents in commercial aviation between 2001 and 2011 was analyzed as LOC-I(Loss Of Control Flight). In 2014, ICAO presented UPRT for fixed-wing aircraft through Doc.10011(Manual On Aeroplane Upset Prevention And Recovery Training) and recommended mandatory implementation to Contracting States from March 2019. Since naval P-3C is a major mission of maritime patrol and anti-submarine warfare, it takes a lot of time to fly at low altitude (70-600 m), and the majority of P-3C pilots have experienced spatial disorientation, so Upset prevention and recovery training is essential for naval P-3C pilots. To this end, this study intends to present measures for UPRT from limited conditions using the P-3C simulator owned by the Navy.
