第四讲 探潜先锋——拖曳线列阵声纳

Towed line array sonar spearheads submarine detection

文章介绍了在反潜战中发挥重要作用的拖曳线列阵声纳的工作原理、结构特点、系统组成,同时回顾了拖曳线列阵声纳从第一次世界大战时HayesHC博士的概念到2000年JohnR.Potter等人的细线阵所经历的长达80年的发展过程,最后预计,应用光纤、新声源,采用多线阵结构能进行三维定位的主被动模块化拖曳线列阵声纳是未来的发展方向.

Towed line array sonar （TLAS） has been playing an important role in anti - submarine warfare. The principle, characteristics and configurations of TLAS are briefly introduced. The history of TLAS from the inspiration of H. C. during World War Ⅰ to the ＇ thin array＇ of J. R. Potter in 2000 is reviewed, and it is predicted that future TLAS will be composed of passive and active modulated multiple arrays with fiber-optic hydrophones and new acoustic sources, and will be capable of locating targets in 3-dimensions.
