Abstract
A method for using a deployable, small package acoustic transmitter device is taught, which serves as a standard acoustic source for on-vessel, in-mission field calibration purposes. The method involves deploying an acoustic transmitter device underwater to provide a predefined acoustic energy source for sonar array detection as well as periodic time-coded acoustic signal pulses for tracking and calibration of passive ranging.
