Abstract :
This paper summarizes a new technology developed explicitly for improved suspended sensor systems in the ocean. It describes briefly the systems approach, analytical techniques, synthetic strength members, cable construction, in-line sensors, fairing, buoyancy, end fittings, conductors, insulation bonding, and cost advantages currently being utilized for improved performance, versatility, and reliability at lower overall cost.
