Instruction Book for Electronic Equipment and Towed Body of Low-Frequency Towed Sonar (XHA)

Abstract

The Low-Frequency Towed Sonar (XHA) is an experimental variable-depth sonar equipment. It was assembled by marrying the transducer and electronic equipment of the NRL 10-kc Long Range Search (LRS) Sonar System, as installed on a submarine (USS GUAVINA), to hoist and an articulated towline. This new equipment should provide a surface-ship platform for obtaining additional information about 10-kc echo-ranging and, in addition, permit a choice of operating depth premised on prevailing thermal conditions.
