Simple command-line simulator for time motion analysis (sub hunting)
OpenSONAR is a command-line-only program designed to aid instructors in running submarine combat simulations. It was designed for, and tested in, the classroom environment. The intent is to provide instructors with the ability to easily manage many contacts with a high degree of accuracy. The program was designed specifically for a geoplot exercise in a NASC201 Naval Weapon Systems class. The instructor was able to easily manage over 15 contacts while administering the simulation.
The aforementioned events and persons were either staff or students in the Navy Reserve Officer Straining Corps unit at the University of Virginia.
If you are interested in extending the functionality of the program, the source is bundled in the .jar file. If you have any questions, you may reach me at the above e-mail address.
