High performance lightweight towed arrays can offer significant defence capability benefits when applied to future defence programs. A thin lightweight Fibre Optic Towed Array (FOTA) system was developed by applying the electro-optic (EO) hydrophone technology successfully developed for previous sea bed array demonstrator systems. In early 2013, a FOTA prototype was built and demonstrated in a meaningful environment showing comparable performance with existing towed array systems. The target…

It is concluded, based on the study conducted and results presented here, that ceramic based acoustic sensor arrays are still a better choice for operation as a thin line towed array compared to the distributed feedback fibre laser hydrophones.

The study has shown that optimal operating conditions are achieved with the gain factor of the current feedback operational amplifier equal to 6 dB and in the range of the gain factors of the variable operational amplifier from 5 dB to 20 dB, which provided the minimal average noise floor level of the fiber-optic interferometric sensors.
