SONAR stands for Sound Navigation and Ranging.
Defence: Most military vessels carry sonar systems which are used to detect and track enemy vessels, torpedos etc. Both active and passive sonars are used for military applications.
Bathymetric Studies: Using multi beam sonars or echo sonars to determine the underwater depth of ocean floors has not only given accurate results in determining the depth of the sea floor, but has also made navigation safer over the years.
Pipeline inspections: Pipeline inspections can now be performed with high frequency side scan sonar which is used by oil & gas companies to detect spans, rock dump integrity & possible damage.
Offshore wind turbines: High resolution sonars are often used for installation of huge offshore wind turbines as potential sites need to be surveyed accurately. It is also used for checking the seabed and also scour protection around the foundation of the turbine.
Detecting explosive dangers underwater: As the seafloor gets increasingly exploited, it becomes equally important to identify objects before laying pipes, cables. Locating unexploded mines, bombs, torpedoes become increasingly important.
