Fairing Support Rings for AN/SQA-10 Variable Depth Sonar Towcables.

Abstract

The U.S. Naval Applied Science Laboratory has developed a fairing support ring for AN/SQA-10 Variable Depth Sonar (VDS) towcables. These fairing support rings are suitable for use with either sectional plastic fairing or rubber fairing in discrete lengths. The NASL fairing support ring is expected to assist in decreasing towline kiting associated with presently used AN/SQA-10 towlines by limiting the transfer of drag forces between fairing sections. Arrangements to install these rings on six AN/SQA-10 towlines for fleet use have been made in cooperation with the U.S. Navy Underwater Sound Laboratory. (Author)
