碩士 === 國立臺灣海洋大學 === 資訊工程學系 === 104 === In recent year, Submarines had became important platforms for military and civilian usage. Their military usage includes attacking enemy and defending our country. Their civilian usage includes marine researches and engineering projects. Sonars and radars are common facilities for detecting submarines. In this thesis, we present a simulation procedure on tracking submarines by using airborne radars. The detectability of a submarine is represented by its Radar Cross Section(RCS). We employ the Shooting and Bouncing Ray(SBR) method to compute the RCS value: The main topics of this simulation is focused on the effects of (1)the tapering ratio of the sail structure of the submarine (2)the height of the sea waves.
