Abstract:

This document provides a summary of fiber optics sonobuoy development in FY 77. An improved sonobuoy cable was fabricated techniques for producing long, high-strength optical fibers were developed means of providing duplex communication over the same fiber were explored and commercially-available optical sources and receivers were surveyed and analyzed.
