Solid filled vibration isolation module for a towed sonar array

摘要: A vibration isolation module is interposed between a sonar array and its ing cable. number of nylon cords contained within the normally bear load induced by hydrodynamic drag array. Since are encased in rubber-like envelope, noise vibrations created towing cable damped prevented from overly interfering with responsiveness When, however, array's increased by, for example, faster speed, stretch central braided member bears load. The has strength considerably excess to assure that towed not lost. filled viscous material there no other voids can be pulled through hull penetrator deploy or retrieve
