Well, I didn't mean to ask about what standard deviations are in general. Just in this context, in that table. Standard deviations are the summed squares of differences to a mean value, divided by the population size. But what sort of values and means is that table based on? 'Barnacle size' on the sperical array?

You know that the bearing rate has a very good correlation with the distance of the contact. It's inversely proportional to the range. These tables are born, from a statistical analysis of Bearing rate variation, by varying the range, route target and relative bearing.



If Cristian from Betasom, wants personally explain in English this method, would be better. But I think it's very clear. The link below:

Fair enough. I'll see how far I'll get this this document. Looks juicy. Too bad it isn't already in english.

For all relative target bearings between 20 and 160 there is a table. I can send you all tables on your e-mail address.
About it, I think that speeds between 5 and 7 knots are not very restrictive, for several reasons.
Would you care to elaborate on that? Are you expecting all opponents to move at speeds between 5 and 7 knots? Sure, submerged opponents that know that you are there would want to stay silent, and thus slow. But that doesn't account for all,or most situations.

Anyway, I think I'll have pizza tonight and set my teeth in this document. Thanks
