Bias Buoy Armored Tow Cable.

Abstract

This report covers the total contract period from September 1980 to July 1981 of the development of a fiber optic armored bias buoy tow cable. The final cable design consists of six graded-index optical fibers and six electrical wire conductors. There are two layers of contrahelically applied plow steel armor. This armored hybrid undersea tow cable design will be used as a prototype of a link which connects an outboard bias buoy sensor deployed from a fleet submarine to an inboard data processing center.
