TMA and Bearing Rate question.

[micky1up]

as a tactical system royal navy submariner i can tell you in the real world of subs all you start off with is bearing rate its the only true piece of information you start off with yes sonar can give you a guesstimate of speed and class of target but bearing rate is all you need to get course speed and range of the target its the baseline of all the work tactical operators use im going to provide a guide to tma for you guys to use i have tried it in the game and it duz work

Wow, you're the closest guy to my job I've found on the forums yet. I'll be interested to see what you put up here. It's funny to me that most people don't realize that sonar doesn't do it all (jonesy syndrome).

You are obviously more motivated than I am.

If its not classified information, do you want to illustrate how you can guessestimate speed and course of a terget using only bearing rate ?
Maybe use a little example, something easy to understand for non navy people (ie me ).
It would be nice to use such knowledge in dangerous waters.

It's all building blocks. Bearing rate over two legs will give you an ekelund range. Range combined with bearing rate will give you course and speed. It all fits together; what makes it hard is that so many of the pieces are missing when you start the problem.
