Vector hydrophone has high sensitivity and good directivity, small size, low cost advantages, in the complex underwater acoustic environment has a good anti-jamming ability, in terms of location, orientation, and signal processing achieved fairly good results, and the vector hydrophone has been successfully applied to the underwater navigation and positioning and underwater target detection, etc. In this paper, the method based on the application of single vector handset in ocean engineering is studied. In this paper, vector hydrophone is applied to ocean engineering, an underwater platform model is established, a set of data acquisition software is written, and an acoustic vector system is built for lake test. The results of experimental data processing verify the correctness and effectiveness of the research method in this paper.
