Phased array sonar
Phased array sonar is an advanced technology used to detect and track underwater objects, such as submarines or schools of fish. It employs an array of small sonar sensors arranged in a grid. By adjusting the timing of sound waves emitted from each sensor, the system can "steer" the sonar beam in different directions without moving the sensor itself. This allows for fast, precise scanning of large areas and better resolution of targets. It's widely used in both military and civilian applications, enhancing navigation and underwater exploration.
