RAP-Based Mooring System Enhances Long-Range Deep-Sea Acoustic Detection

At 4050 meters down in the northern South China Sea, ambient noise drops, and detection sharpens. This study's RAP-based subsurface buoy system, built around a co-oscillating sphere-type vector hydrophone rated for 5000 meters, proves that depth itself can become an acoustic advantage. The sea trials confirm what the physics predicted: bearing estimation works where conventional paths fail. It is a practical step toward persistent deep-sea listening.
