Thanks for the link, now let's see if I interpreted it correctly.

My thinking is total speed across LOS=OSSpeedAcrossLOS+TgtSpeedAcrossLOS . And bearing rate is just the rate of degress per minute change you observe in the sonar station.

So, I'm calculating ekelund doing this:

sinLA+[TgtSpdXsin(90-AspctAng)]/BrgRate

That X is me multiplying, not a variable BTW. And LA=Lead Angle.

My head hurts.

Got my definitions from this page http://www.tpub.com/content/combat/1.../14308_170.htm
