Chirp Sonar

Chirp sonar, or Compressed High-Intensity Radar Pulse sonar, is a technology used to detect and map underwater objects. It sends out sound waves that vary in frequency over time, creating a "chirp." This variation allows it to produce clearer images and detect smaller objects compared to traditional sonar. When these sound waves hit an object, they bounce back, and the sonar system analyzes the returning signals to determine the object's size, shape, and distance. Chirp sonar is often used in marine exploration, fishing, and underwater archaeology for better accuracy and detail.
