ASW Test Target Can

Abstract

The feasibility of an air launchable, acoustic target for underwater echo ranging purposes was investigated. Air drops of inert stores demonstrated excellent aerodynamic stability; reliability of depth selection devices; and structural integrity of the store. Echo ranging tests were conducted with live stores launched from a boat. Feasibility for further development was established.
