Advances in winch system for defence applications
Journal Title: Journal of Achievements in Materials and Manufacturing Engineering - Year 2016, Vol 76, Issue 2
Abstract
Purpose: Winch systems are commonly used in many applications starting from fishingindustries to highly advanced defence, space and nuclear sectors. This paper discussesadvances in development of winch system for defence applications focusing on the towedarray sonar winches for deployment and retrieval of towed sonar wet end from naval ships.Design/methodology/approach: In order to meet the requirements, the winch designeris required to bring innovations through latest technologies and thereby incorporateadvancements in the Mechanical engineering field.Findings: Based on experience of the authors, the advancements from raw material todrive transmission system to health monitoring concepts are discussed along with thetechnology up gradation in winch systems.Practical implications: The functional requirements for defence applications aresomething uncommon compared to civilian applications.
