Sonar is the generic name of the technology that is used to locate objects underwater. Sonar systems are of two basic types - active and passive. In active sonar the system let's out a pulse of sound and then the operator listens for echoes. The passive sonar the operator listens to sounds emitted by the object one is trying to locate.
