High Frequency Omni-Directional Acoustic Sensor with Open Architecture Telemetry

Towed acoustic receive arrays provide powerful insight into the undersea environment and the natural and man-made entities that exist under the surface of the ocean, including adversaries. Towed arrays are populated with hydrophones. Accurate bearing determination is crucial for effective evasion or attack. To determine bearing using existing sensors, either maneuvers or arrays of omni-directional sensors must be used. These maneuvers and arrays introduce delay and complexity to acting. Providin...
