The 'Experimental evaluation of sensors and array' tasks [1] foresees the execution of towing tests on different TLA systems at several speeds within the range of 1m/s up to 7.5m/s and depth between 5m and 10m. The experimental setup requires the use of a towed submersed body, acting as a depressor, to keep the TLA at fixed depths. The present document reports the progress of work regarding the design of the depressor. The depressor needs an hydrodynamic design that provides optimized behavior within the whole operative conditions, with minimal operational noise and minimized influence on TLA. In addition, internal waterproof space must be available to house several sensors and a junction box for TLAs that would need local connection.

Abstract
The 'Experimental evaluation of sensors and array' tasks [1] foresees the execution of towing tests on different TLA systems at several speeds within the range of 1m/s up to 7.5m/s and depth between 5m and 10m. The experimental setup requires the use of a towed submersed body, acting as a depressor, to keep the TLA at fixed depths. The present document reports the progress of work regarding the design of the depressor. The depressor needs an hydrodynamic design that provides optimized behavior within the whole operative conditions, with minimal operational noise and minimized influence on TLA. In addition, internal waterproof space must be available to house several sensors and a junction box for TLAs that would need local connection.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
