no Miracle Gadget just Over the horizon which will replace sonar sonar itself must be slowly and painstakingly extended to fill the gaps in the ask sonar is a device which sends a pulse of sound through the then notes the Lime and Angle from the sound Waves reflected from submarines reflect sonar Waves so do schools of kelp rocks and ships from the sounds direction and duration ask forces can calculate just As thunderstorms obscure radio signals and garble the so do various factors in the a Nelund the Speed of sound in water varies with the pressure and and this Factor helps create holidays of Shadow zones in the water which sonar cannot and the increased Speed of submarines under water has created another major Wineland now if youre going to Stop them you have to detect them much farther that Means we have to extend the sonar Range by various such As in creased which is a whole new Ili explained that new techniques such Bottom Bounce and convergence wine relay have helped to answer this by using sonar signals bounced Oft the ask forces can penetrate into Shadow by using the convergence layer where two Dis similar Hope Ramiro layers of water meet signals can lie

Wineland turned to area target another hot subject not open to general he explained that classification can be divided into four phases classification it localization or pinpointing the tar get and then the kill in world War 12 contacts were attacked for every real submarine discovered by ask this resulted in a Good Many dead depth charges and time lost which ask forces could have spent Bettler tracking real depth bombs were cheap Wineland but the new ask Wear Are their Cost alone rules out questionable classification of the target As a target becomes How can we be sure As we we run studies
