Sonar Transducer Reliability Improvement Program (STRIP)
Abstract
The general objective of this program is to perform relevant engineering development which addresses the operational requirements for fleet transducers for active sonar, passive sonar, surveillance, countermeasures and deception devices, navigation, and acoustic communications. The approach is to develop, test, and evaluate improved transducer design, materials, components, and piece-parts that will meet specified requirements in the operational environment during the entire useful life of the transducer. Standards will be prepared to ensure that results obtained during preliminary testing will be obtained consistently in production. This program should result in improved performance and reliability and reduced costs through better utilization and a more comprehensive characterization of materials and design data.
