Abstract

This paper describes the capability, design and application of the generic underwater warfare simulation environment ODIN. The model was developed by QinetiQ, previously DERA (Defence Evaluation and Research Agency), to model the detailed underwater interaction between surface ship/submarine/UUV (Unmanned Underwater Vehicle) platforms, torpedoes and countermeasures. It was originally developed out of a need to model the effectiveness of advanced countermeasure concepts and uses innovative techniques to model multi-static signal acoustics. The environment provides a 'whole system' integrated approach to modelling using multiple levels of fidelity to support a wide range of applications, from high-level Monte Carlo assessment to algorithmic design and evaluation.
