The ACODAC System

Abstract

The report describes the Acoustic Data Capsule (ACODAC) system together with its auxiliary systems as configured and used in 1971. It traces the program history from 1969 through 1971, outlines the ocean acoustics experimental requirements which generated the ACODAC concept and discusses the technical specifications and features of the ACODAC system and its auxiliary system including those required for deployment. recovery and data processing. Detailed mooring designs and experience as documented on station logs from each of the six 1971 deployments are presented as are descriptions and evaluations of the various deployment methods.
