Abstract
A system for localizing and positioning towed acoustic linear antennas. In one aspect, a system for localizing and positioning towed acoustic linear antennas includes two or more linear antennas, where each linear antenna has at least one distance measurement device configured to measure the distance to at least one adjacent linear antenna and to transmit signals corresponding to distance measurements. The system further includes one or more navigational control devices along each linear antenna that are configured to control at least the lateral position of each linear antenna. The system also includes one or more controllers distributed over the length of each linear antenna, where each controller is configured to receive distance measurement signals from at least one distance measurement device, process the distance measurement signals, and to control at least one navigational control device according to the processed distance measurement signals. Other aspects are disclosed.
