Tail Separation and Surface Impact Effects on the Underwater Trajectory of the JDAM
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Navy is in need of an organic, inexpensive, swift method to neutralize or sweep waterborne mines. This paper presents an alternative to current mine countermeasure technologies that fulfill this criteria the use of the Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) to clear a minefield. Our experimental and modeling study strongly suggest high efficiency of the JABS for mine clearance in the very shallow water (depth less than 12.2 m).

Wave Effect on Underwater Bomb Trajectory with Application to Mine Clearance
Question has been raised about the possible impact sea state which may have on the performance of the Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) Assault Breaching System (JABS) in the very shallow water (VSW) regime (depth up to 40 ft). We investigated the wave effect on underwater bomb trajectory. We will present: (1) development of a new version of the NPS 6 DOF model with the capability to predict ...
متن کاملInvestigation on Nose and Tail Shape Effects on Hydrodynamic Parameters in Autonomous Underwater Vehicles
Development of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) which meets the design constraints and provides the best hydrodynamic performance is really an important challenge in the field of hydrodynamics. In this paper a new profile is used for designing the hull of AUVs. The nose and tail profiles of an AUV using presented profile is designed such that it can properly consider the length constraints...
متن کاملImpact of Body on the Tail Surface Flowfield at High Incidences
An experimental study was performed to investigate the effects of the body angle of attack on the tail surface pressure distribution for a half body-tail combination in subsonic flow. The results show, in small deflection angle regions, that the tail deflection has the same effect on the surface pressure as the body angle of attack. However at moderate to high deflections, the flowfiled caused ...
متن کاملModeling of Underwater Bomb Trajectory for Mine Clearance
The falling of a Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) through a water column was modeled using a six degrees of freedom model (called STRIKE35), which contains three components: hydrodynamics, semi-empirical determination of the drag/ lift/torque coefficients (depending on the Reynolds number and the angle of attack), and water surface characteristics. To validate and verify this model, three un...
متن کاملAdaptive Robust Control for Trajectory Tracking of Autonomous underwater Vehicles on Horizontal Plane
This manuscript addresses trajectory tracking problem of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) on the horizontal plane. Adaptive sliding mode control is employed in order to achieve a robust behavior against some uncertainty and ocean current disturbances, assuming that disturbance and its derivative are bounded by unknown boundary levels. The proposed approach is based on a dual layer adaptive...
