    摘要: A tow body apparatus, a method of making a modular tow body, and a method of using a tow body. The tow body comprises a nose module, a tail module, and a first payload module that may be made of plastic by three-dimensional printing. The nose module is configured to be connected to a tow cable for towing the tow body through water and comprises a nose module mating interface. The tail module comprises fins for stabilizing the tow body as the tow body is towed through water and a tail module mating interface. The first payload module comprises an interior configured to hold a payload, a first mating interface configured to be attached alternatively to the nose module mating interface or to a second payload module, and a second mating interface configured to be attached alternatively to the tail module mating interface or to the second payload module.
