Research: Hydroacoustic measurement with towed arrays
A towed antenna is an antenna system that is pulled behind a vessel. Typically, it ranges from approximately one hundred meters to about one kilometer. Increased speeds elevate the ship's source level, potentially disrupting underwater sound measurements, depending on the frequency range being analyzed. Other sources of interference include ambient noise from factors like weather and self-noise from antenna components. The most challenging interference is flow-induced noise, stemming from turbulent flow around the towed sensor system.
The goal is to design a towed antenna using new sensor approaches like thin-film sensors and optical measurement technologies, along with implementing appropriate signal processing techniques to reduce flow-induced noise.

Since early summer, Julius Braun-Dullaeus, David Thesing and Martin Semmelrodt have joined the DSS team, bringing expertise in embedded systems, sensor hardware and physics. Julius has been connected to DSS throughout his studies, working on stochastic modeling and underwater signal processing. His current work focuses on a drone-based system for localizing and classifying magnetic objects. David continues his master’s research at DSS, combining thin-film sensor development with real-time signal processing for 3D SONAR beamforming. Martin joined in August after completing his master’s degree in theoretical physics. Having first encountered DSS through a collaboration at Müller-BBM, he now works on drone-based magnetic detection of underwater objects and will take over the project from Julius in January.
