Towed Array Hoses are an integral detection system used by the US Navy. ZKxKZ has developed numerous advances in the array hose that houses the electronic sensors via SBIR and RIF programs. The primary improvements and modifications include:
- CoF improvement (easier handling)
- Dampening manipulation (noise cancelling)
- Diameter creep control (handler system interfacing)
- Stiffness manipulation
- Moisture permeation reduction (10X vs legacy)
- Density manipulation (5-20% reduction)
- All can be simultaneously modified and manipulated, and have been tested and manufactured.
