sonarrelated
Sonar-related denotes topics connected with sonar technology, its applications, and related research. Sonar, an acronym for Sound Navigation and Ranging, uses sound waves to detect and locate objects or map the underwater environment. The field spans hardware, signal processing, algorithms, and operations across military, civilian, and scientific domains.
Two broad categories define most sonar systems: active sonar, which emits a sound pulse and analyzes echoes
Common applications include navigation and collision avoidance for ships and submarines, underwater mapping using multibeam and
Challenges and limitations encompass dependence on water conditions (temperature, salinity, depth) that shape the sound speed
Historically, sonar development accelerated in the early 20th century and expanded widely during World War II,
