TIMES FAX: AN UNDERWATER ACOUSTIC RANGE REFERENCE

Abstract

This report describes a sonar range reference system, referred to as the Times Fax System, for determining the relative range between two sub marines. Times Fax ranging capabilities vary with submarine self noise and sonar conditions. Considering sea state noise only, Times Fax has a ranging capability of 28 Kiloyards to 10 kiloyards for Sea States 2 and 6, respectively.
