ABSTRACT:
A device that allows control of the navigation of a towed underwater device, such as a linear acoustic antenna. The device is equipped with a pair of horizontal wings and a pair of vertical wings. These wings are kept horizontal and vertical by pendular movement of the device about the antenna on which the device is fixed. The action of the horizontal wings, which influence only immersion, and of the vertical wings, which influence only the lateral offset, are thus decoupled. The power consumption of the device is reduced, thus allowing the device to be powered by internal batteries and allowing the device to be mounted on existing antennas.
