Tests of a Coating Applied to a Dome with Smooth Fillets at the Window and Truss Connections.

摘要

The U. S. Navy Underwater Sound Laboratory, the U. S. Naval Applied Science Laboratory, and the Mare Island Naval Shipyard, as a team, are investigating new, improved protective coatings for sonar domes. The task includes the development of antifouling coatings with good resistance to erosion by high sound-pressure levels. This effort is being directed, in particular, towards improving coatings for AN/SQS-26 sonar domes.
