Torpedo defense is of great importance in naval operations. Acoustic countermeasure is an effective way to reduce torpedo threat for a ship group. The strategy optimization problem for the ship group defending against multiple batches of torpedoes are studied. After analyzing combat scenario, target characteristic model, ocean environment model, torpedo homing model and countermeasure model of convoy ship group are established. Then, genetic algorithm is used to optimize the strategy of acoustic countermeasure. Simulation result shows that from the perspective of the whole ship group, the countermeasures effectiveness of is obviously improved. The research achievement will be helpful for the acoustic countermeasure under ship group environment.
