Includes bibliographical references (leaves 97-98). A finite difference computer model is developed to simulate the exposure statistics of a radio frequency buoyant antenna as it is towed in a random seaway. The model allows the user to prescribe antenna properties (length, diameter, density, etc.), sea conditions ( significant wave height, development of sea), and tow speed. The model then simulates the antenna-sea interaction for the desired duration to collect statistics relating to antenna performance. The model provides design engineers with a tool to predict antenna performance trends, and conduct design tradeoff studies. The antenna envisioned is a submarine floating antenna which would enable communications at speed and depth, greatly enhancing the stealth and survivability of the US Navy's submarine force. by Gary A.
