Wave Effect on Underwater Bomb Trajectory with Application to Mine Clearance
نویسندگان
چکیده
Question has been raised about the possible impact sea state which may have on the performance of the Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) Assault Breaching System (JABS) in the very shallow water (VSW) regime (depth up to 40 ft). We investigated the wave effect on underwater bomb trajectory. We will present: (1) development of a new version of the NPS 6 DOF model with the capability to predict the bomb maneuvering in the water column due to sloping surface, (2) analysis on the underwater bomb trajectory and orientation due to wave propagation, (3) determination of the wave effect on the bomb trajectory, and (4) calculation of the probability distribution function of the bomb position due to various sea-state. For VSW regions, the bottom topography affects the waves dramatically and causes a significant change in surface slope, which changes the bomb impact angle, and then the bomb trajectory. Such effect is still important when application of JABS is to shallow water (SW) and deep water (DW).

Modeling of Underwater Bomb Trajectory for Mine Clearance
The falling of a Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) through a water column was modeled using a six degrees of freedom model (called STRIKE35), which contains three components: hydrodynamics, semi-empirical determination of the drag/ lift/torque coefficients (depending on the Reynolds number and the angle of attack), and water surface characteristics. To validate and verify this model, three un...
متن کاملProbability Density Function of Underwater Bomb Trajectory Deviation due to Stochastic Ocean Surface Slope
Ocean wave propagation causes random change in an ocean surface slope and in turn affects the underwater bomb trajectory deviation r through a water column. This trajectory deviation is crucial for the clearance of obstacles such as sea mines or a maritime improvised explosive device in coastal oceans using bombs. A nonlinear six degrees of freedom (6DOF) model has been recently developed and v...

Investigation of the waves generated by underwater disturbances gives precious insight into the effect of man-made underwater explosions as well as natural phenomena, such as underwater volcanoes or oceanic meteor impact. On the other hand, prediction of the effects of such waves on the coastal installations and structures is required for preparation worthwhile criteria for coastal engineers to...
متن کاملAdaptive Robust Control for Trajectory Tracking of Autonomous underwater Vehicles on Horizontal Plane
This manuscript addresses trajectory tracking problem of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) on the horizontal plane. Adaptive sliding mode control is employed in order to achieve a robust behavior against some uncertainty and ocean current disturbances, assuming that disturbance and its derivative are bounded by unknown boundary levels. The proposed approach is based on a dual layer adaptive...

The Navy is in need of an organic, inexpensive, swift method to neutralize or sweep waterborne mines. This paper presents an alternative to current mine countermeasure technologies that fulfill this criteria the use of the Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) to clear a minefield. Our experimental and modeling study strongly suggest high efficiency of the JABS for mine clearance in the very shal...
