Investigation of a Reliable Acoustic Path.

Abstract

The U.S. Naval Research Laboratory is conducting research aimed at reduction of the variability of sonar performance due to varying thermal conditions. One of the methods showing great promise is to move the transducer away from the surface boundary. Limited tests have been performed at depths down to 3000 feet. Preliminary results of these tests are reported. (Author)
