Naval Operations Analysis by Danial Wagner is a text book used in the mathematics department at the US Naval Academy. Although it's not for the mathematically challenged (calculus, probabilit, statistics, and game theory are used freely throughout the book), it contains instructions on how to do Ekelund and Speiss TMA.
They have a whole chapter on bearings only TMA and the mathematics behind it, as well as the reasoning behind positioning combat air patrols, search, weapons effectiveness, etc. It's interesting because occaisionally for examples and problems it'll use historical data to explain why things were done the way they were. He also does a lot of stuff that is also in Koopman's
Search and Screening but with greater clarity. All the stuff on barrier patrols and the random search equation that's in Koopman are reproduced in Wagner.
