Abstract :
Defence Research and Development Canada - Atlantic (DRDC Atlantic) has completed a technology demonstration project that integrated active and passive shipborne towed array capabilities. One of the source arrays developed by the project was a 32-element horizontal projector array (HPA). HPA directivity data were recorded during a number of sea trials. This paper presents the system configuration, experimental geometries, and directivity measurements.
