Scheme for using helicopters to protect convoys of merchant ships against attack by enemy submarines has been modeled to study equipment characteristics and tactics; model handles multiple convoys, helicopters, enemy submarines, and false targets and deals with detailed interactions and geometric relationships among them; model contains complete situation, convoys leave port at intervals to cross ocean area; submarines leave their port and navigate to patrol area, sonar detections are made, weapons are launched, survivors continue in model until port is reached or supplies run low.
