Sonar System Market Scope
Sonar (Sound Navigation and Ranging) system is electronic device used to Navigate and communicate with object using sound transmission under the surface of water. Sonar system is working by using echo. When any animal or machine makes noise, sonar system sends sound waves to object around it. Sonar System primarily used to detect noise of marine animal such as whales. Additionally, the operative usage of sonar systems confirms effective exploration and mapping of oceans by using sound waves. Sonar system has various usage such as defense, fishing, hydrographic research and oil and gas exploration. There are two type of sonar system including active sonar and passive sonar. In active sonar, the system releases a pulse of sound and then the operator listens for reverberations. In passive sonar, the worker listens to noises released by the object one is trying to locate.
