Project Artemis Acoustic Source. Description and Characteristics of the Facility as Installed on the USNS Mission Capistrano (T-AG162)
Abstract
This report describes an acoustic source developed for Project ARTEMIS A T-2 class U. S. Navy tanker has been modified to contain the entire facility consisting of source of electric power, amplifiers, control and instrumentation system, transducer array, and array and cable handling machinery. All components of the system have been tested and found to meet design requirements. Acoustic interactions in the multi-element transducer array have restricted the permissible Acoustic interactions in the multi-element transducer array have restricted the permissible acoustic radiated power until the associated velocity anomalies can be eliminated or reduced. Several promising methods are being investigated.
