Re: Use of Doppler to Determine Submarine Speeds and the Velocity of Nolan Ryan's Fastball.

Regrettably, you are right when you refer to the subject as a bit of history.
I doubt anyone still uses this - and other arcane techniques - to fully exploit
available data.

I need to be cautious what I say, but....During my first tour in Kef, 75-78, we had one of those hand held calculators that used small magnetic strips for programs. We obtained a program from the ASWOC which would compute Doppler based speed and it worked great on the rare occasions we could use it with some certainty. At least a few times we were able to refine classification based on resulting TPK.That was hi-tech in those days!
