(A) method of engagement simulation of engineering level considering the detection and maneuvering performance

Abstract

Many different engagement situations require naval ships to achieve some level of effectiveness. And, the performance of the naval ships is very important for such effectiveness. There have been many studies about analyzing the effectiveness and the performance. The former is largely related to the engagement level models and simulations and the latter is largely related to the engineering level models and simulations. However, there have been few studies to consider both the engagement level and the engineering level. This study proposes a simulation core applying the engineering level models to the engagement simulations, which makes it possible to consider both the engagement level and the engineering level. This simulation core considers the maneuvering and detection performance of naval ships through the Engineering model of the simulation core. The Engineering model applies maneuvering equations, the control of hydroplanes, a passive sonar equation, and beam patterns. Also, the simulation core considers engagement scenarios, and the flexibility and the reusability of naval ship models through the DEVS & DTSS model of the simulation core. The DEVS & DTSS model applies Discrete EVent system Specification (DEVS) and Discrete Time System Specification (DTSS). To verify the applicability of the simulation core, this simulation core was applied to detection performance simulations, maneuvering performance simulations, and engagement simulations. The results of these simulations ensures that the simulation core of this study considers both the engagement level and the engineering level, and features the flexibility and reusability of models.
