Abstract

PURPOSE:To test and evaluate an underwater sailing body by receiving an acoustic signal oscillated by the underwater target by hydrophone arrays provided on plural measuring ships, sending the acoustic signal and the attitude and azimuth signals of the arrays and their position signals, and calculating the position of the target on a data analyzing ship. CONSTITUTION:The acoustic signal from an acoustic oscillator provided on the underwater sailing body 1 as the target is received by the hydrophone arrays 2 on the measuring ships 3 floating on the sea and amplified by acoustic amplifiers to send radio waves to the data analyzing ship 4 floating on the sea as well. At this time, the azimuths and attitudes of the arrays 2 which are measured by azimuth meters and attitude meters and their positions which are measured by position measuring instruments are sent at the same time and received by the analyzing ship 4. Then a signal from a measurement line 3 is passed through a filter to extract a target acoustic signal, whose time difference is used to calculate the target position, so that the target is tracked momentarily by using a display device, a plotter, a magnetic disk, etc.
