Abstract

A system which overcomes the effects of acoustical torpedo counter-measuresy using an attack on a countermeasure as a logical step toward the attack on a "real" target. A slight bearing error is introduced into a torpedo homing system to cause the torpedo to miss a small "decoy" target while permitting a "real" target to be hit. After attacking and missing the "decoy", the system then redirects the torpedo towards the "real" target.
