Seaguard Design Study. Revision A.
Abstract
This Report documents the results of a study performed by Bendix Electrodynamics Division to develop the data multiplex subsystem for a moored acoustic sensing system utilizing the 'Thin Line Telemetry System' presently under development for NUSC/NL. The moor acoustic sensing system, identified as the 'Seaguard System', is similar technically and physically to the Thin Line Array (TLA) and can use TLA hardware with a minimum of changes. The major difference is due to the greatly increased transmission distances required by Seaguard and the problems of testing and maintaining such a long array once it has been deployed. This report is both a direct reply to the 'Task Statement for the Seaguard Multiplex System,' (NUSC/NL-SA14:LFD:1jw-3900-Ser SA14-46-25 March 1975) and a general evaluation of the system requirements. Therefore, three types of heading designations are used. The Roman numeral designations contained in the Table of Contents refer to the report partitioning of the problem into common subject matter. The number designations referred to in the various sections are taken directly from the NUSC/NL task statement. The alphabetic designations are used to summarize various trade offs in system architecture.
