J+S Launches NarcineArray

On Tuesday 11 March the OI Daily editors were invited on board of the Kommandoren by J+S, a British company operating from sites in England and Scotland , with besides a brief tour aboard and history of this 120-year old Baltic sea trader, an introduction to NarcineArray.

 

When compared with a conventional towed array, NarcineArray provides a significant reduction in power consumption, diameter (down to 16mm), weight and drag. This means that the array can be deployed and recovered far more easily, often without any specialist handling equipment. Because of the reduced weight, drag and power consumption NarcineArray can also be deployed from a much greater range of vessels, from conventional surface vessels to Unmanned Surface Vessels (USVs) and Unmanned Underwater Vehicle (UUVs).

NarcineArray, named after the small electric ray of this name, is a product family of small diameter passive acoustic line arrays suitable for static or towed applications that can be configured to specific customer requirements. J+S have made use of their knowledge and experience of larger diameter arrays to develop this highly adaptable product that is uniquely suitable to today’s underwater environment.
