ASW Tactics - info needed

[Marcantilan]

I´m researching for a new work which involved modern ASW ops.

Anyone could point me to Internet resources dealing with ASW doctrine and tactics?

I need info about airborne and shipborne ASW: how to react to an ASW threat, how to search in a DP, patterns of sonobuoys, sprint & drift tactics, and so on.

Any one could help me? Thanks in advance!

I do know that there are satellite-based ASW tactics now but that's all I know.

Wait and hope the sub goes away?

But yeah, you aren't going to publicly release your ASW doctrine for the enemy to learn how to evade it, right?

Thanks all for the replies.

I know some of the stuff is classified, but I know docs dealing with no-so-secret doctrine and tactics exists.

Any hint?

Found this essay which might help, perhaps especially the appendix: http://stinet.dtic.mil/cgi-bin/GetTRDoc?AD=ADA300999&Location=U2&doc=GetTRDoc.pdf

I would ask Seaqueen.She will probably be able to give you some info on appropriate books to read.Most of the books available are all 1980s vintage,but this was when modern ASW art was at its highest state.I doubt whether very much has changed in the intervening period.
