Abstract
The transmission of prelaunch weapon communication in a submarine is accoished without the use of an umbilical cord. Acoustic transducers transmit and receive acoustic data through water in place of the umbilical cord. The data transmitted through the water from the launch tube wall to the weapon is in serial format having been converted from parallel data by multiplexing.
