Abstract

The results of natural studies of the methods for simultaneous measurements of the speed of sound in water and water temperature, as well as the depth, true bearing, and orientation of vector-scalar antenna in three-dimensional space, are reported. The tests were performed in the towing mode using a portable multifunctional complex, including hydrophysical, orientation, and direction finding units. The complex is recommended to be included in the composition of stationary or towed scalar or vector-scalar antennas.
