    Sonar is a technique that uses sound propagation to navigate, communicate, or detect objects underwater. It works by emitting pulses of sound and listening for echoes. There are two main types: passive sonar listens for sounds made by vessels, while active sonar emits pulses and listens for echoes to locate targets. Sonar has military applications like anti-submarine warfare and mine detection, as well as civilian uses such as fisheries and echo sounding to map the seafloor.

    Sonar
    Sonar (originally an acronym for SOund Navigation And Ranging) is a technique
    that uses sound propagation (usually underwater, as in submarine navigation) to
    navigate, communicate with or detect objects on or under the surface of the water,
    such as other vessels. Two types of technology share the name "sonar": passive sonar
    is essentially listening for the sound made by vessels; active sonar is emitting pulses of
    sounds and listening for echoes. Sonar may be used as a means of acoustic location
    and of measurement of the echo characteristics of "targets" in the water. Acoustic
    location in air was used before the introduction of radar. Sonar may also be used in air
    for robot navigation, and SODAR (an upward looking in-air sonar) is used for
    atmospheric investigations. The term sonar is also used for the equipment used to
    generate and receive the sound. The acoustic frequencies used in sonar systems vary
    French F70 type frigates (here, La Motte-Picquet)
    from very low (infrasonic) to extremely high (ultrasonic). The study of underwater are fitted with VDS (Variable Depth Sonar) type
    sound is known as underwater acoustics or hydroacoustics. DUBV43 or DUBV43C towed sonars
