Synthetic Aperture Sonar

Synthetic Aperture Sonar (SAS) is a technology used to create detailed images of underwater landscapes and objects, similar to how radar works in the air. By moving a sonar device across the water's surface, it collects sound signals that bounce back from underwater features. These signals are processed using advanced algorithms to produce high-resolution images, allowing researchers and engineers to map the seafloor, inspect shipwrecks, or locate underwater hazards. SAS is particularly valuable in marine exploration, environmental monitoring, and security applications, providing clearer and more comprehensive views than traditional sonar methods.
