Abstract:
The Towed Array electronics is a multi-channel simultaneous real time
high speed data acquisition system. Since its assembly is highly manpower
intensive, the costs of arrays are prohibitive and therefore any attempt to reduce the
manufacturing, assembly, testing and maintenance costs is a welcome proposition.
The Network Based Towed Array is an innovative concept and its implementation
has remarkably simplified the fabrication, assembly and testing and revolutionised
the Towed Array scenario. The focus of this paper is to give a good insight into the
Reliability aspects of Network Based Towed Array. A case study of the comparison
between the conventional array and the network based towed array is also dealt with
