ABSTRACT:
A device is structured to pass along a towed array of hydrophones, from the orward end thereof to the rearward end thereof. The device carries a small acoustic projector to project test signals to respective hydrophones as the device passes them by. The responses of respective individual hydrophones to the test signals are recorded to enable calibration of the array in situ, and additionally, or alternatively, are recorded to determine the departure of the array from the ideal straight, (generally) horizontal line.
