How jyothish-kumar-s-d/towed-array works

This repository’s primary product is a towed-sonar-array simulator that searches for the smallest safe vessel turning radius. The runtime workflow loads cable, fluid, sensor, and vessel telemetry; deploys and integrates the cable; attaches and simulates the sonar array; evaluates safety over the maneuver; and reports the radius search result. Supporting capabilities include telemetry-based array reconstruction and geometry visualization. The README also describes an older 3D prototype in the root. Some modules are documented but not sampled, so their internal wiring is omitted where uncertain.
