Research Summary

A sonobuoy is a small, expendable acoustic sensor device used in underwater acoustic surveillance systems, primarily by naval forces for detecting submarines, ships, and other underwater objects. It is deployed from aircraft or ships and consists of a buoyant flotation device equipped with a hydrophone (underwater microphone) to detect sound waves underwater. Sonobuoys are typically dropped into the ocean where they sink to a predetermined depth and transmit acoustic signals to receiving equipment aboard aircraft or ships. These signals are analyzed to identify and locate potential targets based on the characteristics of the sound detected, such as engine noise or propeller cavitation. Sonobuoys come in various types optimized for different operational needs, including passive sonobuoys that listen for sounds and active sonobuoys that emit sound pulses for echolocation. They play a crucial role in naval operations, submarine detection, underwater surveillance, and marine research by providing real-time acoustic intelligence in maritime environments.
