Method and means for the acoustical steering of submarine torpedoes
A torpedo has an acoustical system for detecting targets and directing the torpedo toward the target. An electric motor drives a cam that operates a switching arrangement that alternately changes the torpedo motor speed between fast and slow speeds. Upon sensing a target, the voltage applied to the...

| Zusammenfassung: | A torpedo has an acoustical system for detecting targets and directing the torpedo toward the target. An electric motor drives a cam that operates a switching arrangement that alternately changes the torpedo motor speed between fast and slow speeds. Upon sensing a target, the voltage applied to the motor driving the cam is increased to speed up the switching cycle and thereby shorten the duration of the slow and high speed intervals. |
