  • Abstract
    This paper proposes a hydro-acoustical alarm system that will warn personnel on drillships, production platforms or support vessels about approaching icebergs with sufficient draft to endanger bottom installations. The system would basically consist of two underwater units anchored such that the horizontal line between them defines the alarm limit. The principle of operation is described and block diagrams are presented.
