Underwater launched acoustic warning assembly

摘要

An acoustic warning assembly (20) capable of being launched from an underwater vehicle while being underwater. The acoustic warning assembly (20) includes an acoustosensitive member (22) for collecting above-surface acoustic signals. The acoustic warning assembly also includes a carrier member (24) launchable from the underwater vehicle, the carrier member (24) is designed to carry the acoustosensitive member above-surface. The acoustic warning assembly also includes a communication medium (26) for communicating between the acoustosensitive member and the underwater vehicle, for transmitting the above-surface acoustic signals collected by the acoustosensitive member to the underwater vehicle.
