SYSTEM FOR LOCALISING AND POSITIONING TOWED ACOUSTIC LINEAR ANTENNAS INTEGRATING MEANS FOR LOCAL FEEDBACK CONTROL OF ANTENNA NAVIGATION CONTROL MEANS

摘要

The invention relates to a system for localisingand positioning towed acoustic linear antennas, whichlinear antennas each have means for measuring thedistance (T) of at least one adjacent linear antenna,with navigation control means (B) distributed over thelength of said linear antennas being associated witheach linear antenna in order to act at least laterallyon the position of said linear antennas, characterisedin that it includes, for each linear antenna, means forfeedback control (A) of said control means (B)distributed over the length of said linear antennas andintended to communicate locally with said distancemeasuring means in order to collect and process dataprovided by said distance measuring means (T) and tocontrol, according to said data, said control means (B).
