Rigid Line Array Suspension System.
Abstract
The patent application relates to a towed negatively buoyant rigid linear array having three forward floats of double ogival shaped with a buoyancy equal to or slightly greater than the negative buoyancy of the array attached to a tow cable. The distance between the array and the middle float is equal to the desired array depth. The separation between the centers of the floats is equal to 2 pi times the minimum bend radius. A drogue line at the aft end of the array is adjusted to equal the depth at which the array is to be suspended.
