We present two examples of optimal discrete valued control problems which arise in defence applications. The first one involves the management of batteries in a submarine. In the second example, one wishes to determine an optimal transit path for a submarine through a field of sonar sensors, subject to a total time constraint. A recently developed numerical solution technique for discrete valued optimal control problems is used to solve both of these problems. We present numerical results for each example.
