Research and optimization on configuration of helicoper formation for cooperatively-searching-submarine of naval vessels and aircrafts

Configuration parameters are optimized in order to improve the searching efficiency of helicopter formation with dipping sonar.According to the characters of cooperative searching submarine of naval vessels and helicopters,the mathematical models about the relationship between configuration parameters is built.The efficiency of antisubmarine searching is optimized and configured.A basic model of the formation antisubmarine search is proposed,the interval between suspending points of helicopter considered as the main factor.The optimum configuration parameters and searching efficiency is calculated.The result proves that the searching efficiency of helicopter formation is determined by configuration parameters when the ship formation is certain,and it can be improved with the appropriate parameters.
