I have found out how to solve this problem even without deployment of UUV.You must simply come half of the range closer to one of the contacts.

In the result you will get very faint traces on the towed array broadband display.Then,you should just do a course change and drop the wrong (shifting) contact.Quite easy,actually.

I think that all those troubles in ambiguity resolutions occur primarily due to:

1.Contact is actually running slow.
2.Contact is somewhere on the limits of towed array detection range.

So,moving closer to one of the contacts solves everything out.This is just the matter of range and strength of the signal and nothing else.

Today,I have sunk three russian subs in " Satellite Recovery" mission of Seawolf's campaign.There were two Victor-III class and one Akula-I.

All were tracked and engaged using the same basic tactical scheme:

1.Picking out a contact on TA narrowband display.
2.Aproaching until I get faint traces on TA broadband STA display.
3.Resolving the bearing ambiguity using TA broadband STA display.
4.Engaging each sub with two MK-48 ADCAP Mod 5 torpedoes,both preset for active homing.

I made a conclusion,that this method offers very good chances for manual accurate TMA calculation,and good chances to destroy any target.You are close enough to contact to gather all necessary data about target motion,signal is stable and strong after you get traces on broadband display.
