Computer Control of the Underwater Acoustic Array Hydra.

Abstract

This document describes the software used to control the underwater acoustic array Hydra. The Hydra array was developed at Defence Research Establishment Atlantic (DREA) for bottom mounted use in continental shelf waters. The array is controlled from a minicomputer on board ship, and through a microprocessor in the array. Both the minicomputer software and the microprocessor software are described.
