The invention relates to a towed towed
buoy array positioning device and method. The towed towed
buoy array positioning device comprises a towed mother ship, and a
deck unit is fixedly installed on the towed mother ship; the
system further comprises a plurality of dragging buoys which are connected in series through ropes and form a dragging
buoy array, the dragging buoy located at the foremost end is connected with the dragging mother ship through the
rope, and the whole dragging buoy array is dragged by the dragging mother ship on the water surface to sail. The dragging buoy located at the
tail end is arranged in a transverse offset mode, complex installation and calibration are not needed before use, and laying and recycling are convenient; the acoustic measurement sensor is always kept far away from a mother ship and is less interfered by ship body
noise, so that the acoustic positioning calculation precision is greatly improved; according to the device, accurate positioning of deep
towing is achieved based on the spatial distance intersection positioning principle, the
base line of the acoustic measurement
sensor array is long, the accuracy
advantage of long
base line positioning is achieved, no positioning tracking ship is arranged in the method, and compared with a double-ship positioning method, the manpower and material resource cost is reduced through the method.
