Abstract: A countermeasure method of hard and soft torpedo defense weapons, i.e., floating acoustic decoy and suspended depth charge, against acoustic homing torpedoes is proposed. The launching sequence is determined, and two possible laying schemes are presented. The countermeasure effects of the two schemes are simulated by using statistical simulation method. An optimal scheme to use the shipboard hard and soft torpedo defense weapons against intelligent acoustic homing torpedoes is chosen through analysis. The survival probability of ship is effectively improved by improving the laying interval between floating acoustic decoy and suspended depth charge.

Key words: ordnance science and technology, floating acoustic decoy, suspended depth charge, intelligent torpedo, countermeasure
