Title: TBMs and the flaming datum problem
Description: Theater Ballistic Missile launching systems are vulnerable just after a missile is launched      because the missile's track can be extrapolated backwards to the location of the launcher. The      situation is similar to one where a submarine torpedoes a ship, thus creating a flaming datum      near which ASW forces may concentrate a search for the submarine. This report describes      how some simple analytic methods adapted from ASW can be applied to the task of locating      the TBM launcher. TBM, Scud, Search.
