Abstract
This document describes the realisation of a Dual Accelerometer Vector Sensor (DAVS),
which is part of work which was carried out within the Distributed Sensor Array concept
developed under WiMUST. The device is a vector sensor, which can become an alternative
to the classical towed array hydrophones, currently used in Distributed Sensor Arrays.This
report describes the design and the first evaluation tests of the Dual Accelerometer Vector
Sensor system for sub-bottom sensing applications. This device is going to be mounted on
an autonomous underwater vehicle as an add-on feature, which will allow the comparison
of the DAVS results with those obtained with the classical towed array system. The DAVS
can operate autonomously for short term missions.
