ABSTRACT:
The application describes a "jellyfish" acoustic array. The array is housed in a cable suspended container with an open bottom. A series of individual transducer elements are stacked inside the container, and may be deployed in a column hanging from the container. Spacer cables join adjacent transducer elements to limit the separation of the deployed elements. The uppermost of the transducer elements is suspended from the container. Control cables secured to the bottommost of the transducer elements and extend up through the container. Pulling in the control cables raises the bottommost transducer element and sequentially stacks the remaining transducer elements. Lowering the control cables serves to deploy the transducers.
