Description
The performance of current towed arrays can be improved by employing more hydrophones and telemetry channels per unit length. This topic seeks the development of innovative concepts that can increase the number of hydrophones and telemetry channels per unit length while simultaneously achieving a very small form factor (i.e., the length/diameter requirement). Increasing the sensor count will result in higher data rates for these oversampled arrays, requiring innovative approaches to accommodate the resulting increased data bandwidth. Additionally, a robust fault-tolerant approach is needed to improve array reliability. Having multiple sensors and telemetry channels where currently there is only one of each will result in inherent redundancy and graceful degradation in the event of a sensor failure.
