Abstract

This paper investigates the probability of anti-submarine aerial depth charge hits based on Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). The study initially analyzes the horizontal coordinate positioning of depth charges and establishes a maximum kill area model after determining the geometric relationship between the depth charge's lethal radius and the submarine then discusses two detonation methods of depth charges: fixed depth fuse detonation and contact fuse detonation, and analyzes their impact on hit probability. The paper further constructs a depth charge hit probability model, considering the depth positioning error of the submarine's center position, and discusses the impact of different detonation depths on hit probability. Finally, the detonation depth of the depth charge is optimized to maximize the hit probability using the Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm. The results indicate that by optimizing the deployment strategy and detonation depth of depth charges, the efficiency and success rate of anti-submarine operations can be effectively improved.
