Abstract:
A self-deploying and a self-aligning linear acoustic detector which can be ir dropped. The detector includes a parachute for deployment and has a mast, set of sails and booms for deploying and aligning an array of the detector. A neutrally buoyant array cable includes a plurality of neutrally buoyant hydrophones attached along its length which can be deployed horizontally at a predetermined depth in water. The array is also provided with a drogue at one end thereof to facilitate deployment of the array and to prevent it from moving after its deployment. The array is also provided with an auxiliary buoy for establishing the operating depth of the drogue and of the array.

International Classification:
H04B 1100
US Classification:
367131
Abstract:
A Tactical Expendable Device (TED) adapted to be ejected into the water f a variety of launch platforms and to achieve and remain substantially stationary at a predetermined operating depth for a predetermined time interval or to sink at a predetermined rate for sensing acoustic signals and transmitting such signals to the launch platform through a long, small diameter connecting cable such as a fiber optic filament. The TED system comprises the TED cannister, a long connecting cable, deployment means on the launch platform including a launch tube with integral dereeler, a buffer and onboard signal processing/display equipment. The TED cannister further comprises a sensing element, a buffer, a power source and a dereeling device.
