2021 Vol. 26, #2 - Endurance Limited Lines of Approach for a Sprinting Submarine
Limiting lines of approach are the standard tactical construct for bounding the area from which a submarine that is slower than a ship or convoy can reach a firing position. This paper introduces formulas for endurance limited lines of approach (ELLA) that bound the area on both speed and endurance, to account for submarines that can sprint faster than the ship for short periods. An efficient computational approach is used to combine sets of ELLAs generated by the geometrical formulas into an overall worst case bound. The methods informed a tactical note under consideration by the Canadian Forces Maritime Warfare Centre.
