SBP (Side Scan Sonar)

Side Scan Sonar (SBP) is a technology used predominantly in underwater exploration and mapping. It emits sound waves from a device to the seafloor, and then captures the echoes that bounce back. This creates detailed images of underwater terrains, objects, and features, like shipwrecks or underwater structures, much like how a camera captures images. SBP helps researchers, archaeologists, and marine biologists understand underwater environments without disturbing them, making it a valuable tool for studies in oceanography, resource mapping, and underwater archaeology.
