Acoustic Communication Equipment for Monitoring the Operation of an Autonomous Hydroacoustic Bottom Station on the Shelf

The paper presents the acoustic communication equipment with bottom stations of the Shelf-2014 hydroacoustic complex—built-in acoustic bottom station modems and a portable telecommand unit. The main technical solutions adopted in the development process and confirmed by a number of experiments are described. The results of operation of the equipment under marine conditions are considered, and ways of further development are outlined.
