SQQ-89 sonar system

The SQQ-89 sonar system is a sophisticated underwater detection and tracking device used on U.S. Navy submarines and surface ships. It employs advanced acoustic sensors to listen for and identify underwater objects such as submarines, ships, or marine life. The system integrates multiple sonar arrays, signal processing, and data analysis to provide real-time situational awareness and enhance maritime security. Its capabilities include both active sonar (sending out sound pulses) and passive sonar (listening without emitting signals), allowing vessels to detect threats at various ranges and conditions, contributing to effective underwater surveillance and defense operations.
