A fully planar CTD is proposed that eliminates the need for tubes, vents, and scoops to deliver seawater to the CTD sensor. Additionally, as the planar sensor is directly mounted to the submarines skin, either to the hull or the sail, there is no latency associated with the measurements as with the current configuration. The planar CTD is based upon BHT's patented technology which allows this planar CTD device to be realized.

A novel planar CTD sensor assembly is proposed. The sensor assembly is a form, fit, and enhanced functional replacement for the existing CTD sensor assembly. BHT's proposed CTD sensor assembly allows for various seawater flow configurations, has virtually no latency in parameter measurement, uses on a fraction of the volume of the current seachest configuration, and uses components that have previously been qualified for DoN ship board above deck use. The planar CTD is based upon BHT's patented technology which allows this planar CTD device to be realized.
