SONAR is an acronym created by the navy that is the name of what they use to locate items under water. But if you wanted to, you could say the bats using echolocation on land is a type on SONAR. They basically both use sound to locate objects so they are really not very different at all.
What else can I help you with?
What did the military use sonar's for?
Sonars were used to detect any objects that got into the detection field of the sonar. By this, the military could detect enemy submarines etc., which they couldn't see normally because of the opacity and/or darkness of the water.
Who uses sonar and a radar?
Sonar and radar's are used by the military, research groups, reconnaissance missions, searches for dead bodies and much more. It is a widely used technology.
Could fisherman use sonar?
Many species of sharks do not use sonar, as they have very effective senses, but some species are thought to. The hammerhead shark, in particular, is thought to use sonar waves detection.
What instrument is used to image objects underwater?
Robotic submersibles, sonar, satellites, coring machines, and magnetometers.
Where is sonar used?
Naval operations: Submarine and anti-submarine usage. in the thirties a Blimp altimeter called a Sonicaltimeter was tested on Navy Blimps by Admiral Rosenthal, noted (Blimp admiral). The device was made in Germany by Echolot- still in business. Echolot is a blend word of Echo Location or Echo-Pilot. not a Batty idea but uses in a sense ultra-sound not radar waves.
What did the military use sonar's for?

What are some possible uses for sonar on land?
Sonar on land can be used for detecting buried objects such as pipes, cables, or archaeological artifacts, mapping underground structures like caves or tunnels, and analyzing the composition of soil layers for geological surveys or environmental assessments.
Sonar is used to find?
Sonar (SOund NAvigation and Ranging) is used to find objects. Sonar is used to find ships, submarines, mines, and other objects in the Navy. Sonar is used in Medicine to find unusual tumors, organs, and cells. Sonar is used in Geology to find minerals, oil, rock formationsn, and water .
Can sonar use in periscope depth?
Yes sonar can be used at periscope depth. Surface ships also have sonar arrays on them. They are usually used to detect submarines.

What is sonar to people?
Most people do not hear the sonar signals used by animals, such as bats or dolphins.
What tool is used for SONAR?
SONAR (Sound Navigation and Ranging) primarily uses sonar systems that include transducers, which emit sound waves and receive echoes. These systems can be categorized into active and passive sonar. Active sonar sends out sound pulses and listens for their return, while passive sonar detects sounds made by objects in the water without emitting sound waves. Common tools used in sonar applications include echo sounders, hydrophones, and sonar arrays.
