COMPACT DEPLOYMENT AND RETRIEVAL SYSTEM FOR A TOWED DECOY UTILIZING A SINGLE CABLE EMPLOYING FIBER OPTICS

A towing cable (30) is initially wrapped around a spindle (32). A translating lick or bale (34) translates in the direction of the double-ended arrow (36) driven by a double helix drive (38) which is mechanically coupled to a transmission (40). The double helix drive (38) revolves at a speed determi...

Zusammenfassung:A towing cable (30) is initially wrapped around a spindle (32). A translating lick or bale (34) translates in the direction of the double-ended arrow (36) driven by a double helix drive (38) which is mechanically coupled to a transmission (40). The double helix drive (38) revolves at a speed determined by the rotation of the spindle (32) such that cable (30) is either wound or unwound along the spindle (32). Signals are passed over a signal line (50).
