Submarine Detection

Submarine detection involves using sound waves and acoustic technologies to locate submarines underwater. Since submarines are designed to be stealthy, traditional radar doesn't work well underwater. Instead, sonar (sound navigation and ranging) emits sound pulses that bounce off objects, including submarines. Sensors then listen for the returning echoes. By analyzing the time it takes for the echoes to return and their characteristics, operators can identify the size, shape, and distance of a submarine. This technique is essential for naval defense and maritime security, helping to monitor underwater activities and ensure safety in the oceans.
