    Abstract: Methods for making linear acoustic antennas designed to be towed behind a boat, wherein open-cell foam cylinders (101) are opened lengthwise (103) and electroacoustic receiver modules (101) are placed therein. After closing the cylinders, they are arranged end-to-end and a series of layers of porous nonwoven material, reinforcing nets (111) and wiring cables are wound around the cylinder surfaces. Finally, a protective sheath is extruded onto the cylinders and their end portions are joined together. The manufacture of such antennas may thus be mechanised using cable technologies.

    Abstract: A telemetry system for receiving data from large arrays of sensors, in which the sensors are located in an unprotected environment, is implemented using fiber optic components. Laser sources, located in a protected environment, transmit light through the boundary separating the protected environment from the unprotected one. The light is then split into a number of beams and fed to electro-optical modulators, where it is modulated in response to electrical signals received from the sensors. The modulated light signals are then wavelength-division multiplexed and transmitted back through the environment boundary, where they are amplified, demultiplexed and converted to electrical signals. Multiplexing reduces the number of boundary penetrations, and the use of highly stable electro-optical modulators eliminates the need for signal conditioning electronics at each sensor. This optical approach is particularly beneficial in an underwater application, such as a submarine receiving data from a large array of acoustic sensors, where it is desired that hull penetrations be minimized and the underwater components be highly reliable and stable.

    Abstract: Sonar array cable is typically provided in lengths comprising hydrophone ays and associated electronics and transmitter can components, each cable length or section having one of each of these components housed therein. These sections are relatively stiff and unbendable, requiring that they be connected with relatively bendable intermediate segments. These intermediate segments are susceptible to excessive bending that can lead to failure of the wiring provided therebetween. The wiring in these intermediate bendable segments is provided in the form of a coil, each of which coils is rigidly connected to the transmitter and electronics in one cable section, and the other end of the coil being connected electrically to the wiring associated with the hydrophone array in an adjacent cable section. Each coil is encased in relatively soft urethane material, preferably in one portion of the bendable segment, another portion of the bendable segment having the coil connected at its other end to a relatively stiff urethane material associated with the transmitter can and associated electronics.
