Summary Question has been raised about the possible impact sea state which may have on the performance of JABS in the very shallow water (VSW) regime (depth up to 40 ft.). The purpose of this project is to investigate the wave effect on underwater bomb trajectory and tail separation. The proposed work include: (I) development of a new version of the NPS 6 DOF model with the capability to predict the bomb maneuvering in the water column due to sloping surface, (2) analysis on the underwater bomb trajectory and orientation due to wave propagation, and (3) determination of the wave effect on the tail separation.
