Sonar Towed Array Subassembly

Sonar Towed Array Subassemblies are a type of equipment used in underwater sound systems. They are part of the supply class "Underwater Sound Equipment" which falls under the supply group "Communication, Detection, And Coherent Radiation Equipment".

Sonar Towed Array Subassemblies are typically used in sonar systems for detecting and tracking underwater objects or for mapping the ocean floor. They consist of a series of hydrophones (underwater microphones) that are towed behind a vessel or deployed from a stationary position. These hydrophones pick up sound waves in the water and convert them into electrical signals that can be processed and analyzed.

The main purpose of Sonar Towed Array Subassemblies is to enhance the capabilities of sonar systems by providing a larger coverage area and improved sensitivity to detect and locate underwater targets. They are commonly used in military applications for submarine detection, as well as in scientific research and commercial industries such as oil and gas exploration.

Sonar Towed Array Subassemblies are designed to be rugged and durable to withstand the harsh underwater environment. They are typically connected to a control unit or data processing system on the vessel or shore, where the received signals are processed and interpreted.

Overall, Sonar Towed Array Subassemblies play a crucial role in underwater sound equipment by providing enhanced detection and tracking capabilities for various applications in the field of communication, detection, and coherent radiation.
