SONAR, or Sound Navigation and Ranging, works in submarines by emitting sound waves into the water and listening for their echoes. When the sound waves hit an object, such as another submarine or the seafloor, they bounce back to the submarine's sonar system. By measuring the time it takes for the echoes to return, the submarine can determine the distance and size of the object. This technology enables submarines to navigate, communicate, and detect other vessels or underwater terrain even in complete darkness.
What else can I help you with?
How loud is a submarine sonar?
A submarine sonar can be as loud as 235 decibels, which is much louder than a jet engine.
What does bats and submarine have in common?
SONAR
What is included in the product group Sonar Systems?
airborne, surface ship, and submarine-based sonar systems including depth-finding equipment, guidance hydrophones, sonabuoys, sonar fish finders, navigation and mapping sonar, and anti-submarine sonar equipment
Can a submarine's sonar system cause harm or be fatal to a person?
A submarine's sonar system can potentially harm marine life, but it is unlikely to be fatal to a person.
What is the name of instrument use for locate a submarine?
sonar
Can you give me a sentence with the word in it sonar?
A submarine uses sonar, like a bat uses echolocation to see.
Can submarine sonar kill you?
No, submarine sonar cannot kill you. It is a technology used for detecting objects underwater and does not emit harmful levels of sound that could cause harm to humans.
What is the Naval abbreviation for Submarine Sonar Technician?
The designation for my old rate is "STS", which literally stands for "Sonar Technician, Submarines". Yours truly was an STS1/SS during the top years of the Cold War. Check my bio page for pics. The Submarine Sonar community is an oddity in the Navy in that it is separate from the Surface Sonar community, though both share the same rate insignia and Naval lineage. Both have similar missions concerning ASW, but Submarine Sonar and Sonar Tech operations aboard a submarine are critical to submarine operations, whereas it's an ancillary function aboard a surface ship. The rate insignia is denoted by a pair of headphones. The surface equivalent, "STG", stands for "Sonar Technician, Guns".
What is a sub spotter called?
A sub spotter is typically called a Submarine Sonar Technician or Sonar Operator. Their role is to detect and locate enemy submarines using sonar technology.
Sonar is used to?
sonar is a device used underwater for locating submerged objects and for submarine communication by means of sound waves.
How loud is submarine sonar and what impact does it have on marine life?
Submarine sonar can be very loud, reaching up to 235 decibels. This can disrupt marine life by causing hearing damage, stress, and changes in behavior.
What did allies used against submarine attacks in World War 1?
sonar
