Yeah i can see your point
My previous post indeed sounds a bit diminishing, it wasn't meant that way.
If anyone feels hurt I'm sorry for it.
I just thought Greyrider meant using passive sonar only (hydrophones is passive sonar only, isn't it, or am I completely wrong here  )
Using passive sonar only it'd be completely impossible to determine AOB.
But now that I understand what he is meaning I can definately see the use of this formula, it'd be a very accurate and easy way of determining the targets speed.
So keep up the brainstorming and don't mind about people like me joking about UFOs  |
It's NOT impossible to determine AOB with passive hydrophone listening. It maybe not a quick thing to do. And being stationary simplifies alot (just like sckallst mentioned) But certainly possible. Look to the following thread:

Or if you want to take a shortcut for such a drawing with a handheld tool:

(or this one, works the same, but linear as opposed to the circular above:
