Towed device for sonar system

The towed antenna has a pair of acoustically-sensitive strands (11,12) incorporating spaced hydrophones, positioned adjacent one another at a given relative spacing, determined by rigid coupling elements (13,14) at opposite ends of the strands. The coupling elements may be provided by Y-shaped eleme...

More Information
Summary:The towed antenna has a pair of acoustically-sensitive strands (11,12) incorporating spaced hydrophones, positioned adjacent one another at a given relative spacing, determined by rigid coupling elements (13,14) at opposite ends of the strands. The coupling elements may be provided by Y-shaped elements, each coupled to a damping module (16,17) at the end of the common arm and to one of the acoustically- sensitive strands at the end of each angled arm.
