Abstract: We propose the evaluation and measurement of single crystal materials to support performance prediction of cylindrical ring sonar transducers and bar transducers for imaging sonar. The project also encompasses the construction and evaluation of exemplar devices.
Benefits: will reduce time to transistion single crystal materials into the fleet use and thereby offer performance advantages more readily.
