Q

State the reduction ratio when a six bladed 4s/c surface vessel is fitted with 8 cylinders and
employs a direct drive and has a blade rate 2 that reinforces EFR1

A

1:1

17
Q

State the reduction ratio from a six cylinder 4 s/c contact, fitted with a 7 bladed propeller when
BR2 is reinforcing CSR 7.

A

2:1

18
Q

What is a Shadow Zone?

A

A region into which very little acoustic energy penetrates (In accordance with HALT rule)

19
Q

Define Signal Excess

A

The amount of signal available for detection

20
Q

Explain the term Aliasing

A

Processor Samples 2x frequency bandwidth and therefore creates mirror image. This mirror
image is covered up so that only the desired bandwidth is shown to the operator. Aliasing
eliminates the unwanted frequencies.

21
Q

Frequency Spectrums of 2 s/c and 4 s/c engines

A

70-150 ,150+

22
Q

List the propulsion modes?

A

DE DR DD TR TE AIP BATTS

23
Q

What is limiting/ grazing ray?

A

The ray that grazes the boundary between two layers of different acoustic properties

24
Q

What are the CZ Ranges for the Mediterranean and the North Atlantic?

A

MED - 14-18 / NA - 28-32

25
Q

What is the Critical Angle Ray?

A

Steepest angle at which there is 100% reflection from boundary layer (i.e. surface or sea
bed/bottom)

26
Q

What is the lifespan and the depth of a BATHY Buoy? Name of BATHY BOUY

A

12mins / 2625ft (800m) / SSQ 36B

27
Q

What is the lifespan and the depth of a DICASS Buoy? Name of DICASS Buoy?

A

50pingS/1hr / D1 - 50, 150, 300ft / D2 - 90, 400, 1500ft / SSQ62, Directional and Command
Activated Sonobuoy System 62

28
Q

What is the lifespan and the depths of a DIFAR Buoy? What is the name of a DIFAR Buoy?

A

0.5/1/2/4/8hrs / 90,200,400,1000ft / SSQ53

29
Q

What are the frequencies used for detection on a DIFAR Buov?

A

Pilot Freq 7.5KHz / Reference Freq 15KHz

30
Q

What are the beams used when processing the signal on a DIFAR Buoy?

A

Cardiod, Limacon

31
Q

1What is an Ocean Front?

A

Boundary between two masses of water with different acousticand thermal properties

32
Q

What determines the size of the wave?

A

Duration of wind. wind strength, Fetch surface area

33
Q

What are the different propagation paths?

A

Direct Path, Surtace Duct, Sound Channel, (4, Bottom Bounce
