A hydrodynamic model of a two-part underwater manoeuvrable towed system is proposed in which a depressor is equipped with active horizontal and vertical control surfaces, and a towed vehicle is attached to the lower end of a primary cable. In such a system the towed vehicle can be manoeuvred in both

A three-dimensional model of a two-part underwater towed system is studied. In the model, the governing equations of cables are established based on the Ablow and Schechter method. The boundary conditions for the two-part underwater towed system are derived. The sixdegrees-of-freedom equations of mo
This paper reports on laboratory experiments conducted for the loop manoeuvre of underwater towed models of a cable-array system. The purpose of the experiment is to record the cable-array configuration in the vertical and azimuthal planes, and measure the tow-point tension while the tow-ship model
## Comments on: Dynamics and control of a towed underwater vehicle system, part 1: model development The writers wish to congratulate the authors for their outstanding contribution and extremely useful results (Buckam et al., 2003). On the other hand no account is taken for the reduction of cross
Autonomous vehicles are being developed to replace the conventional, manned surface vehicles that tow mine hunting towed platforms. While a wide body of work exists that describes numerical models of towed systems, they usually include relatively simple models of the towed bodies and neglect the dyn
