sonar denial auv's
automated underwater vehicles...........that make noise to deny submarines their use of sonar. | |
eveyrone knows that submarines track each other, and even torpedoes track submarines , using sonar.
everything underwater is sonar .
well, it's also commonly known that depth charges were used in wwii to deny u-boats and submarines their use of sonar by overloading their sonar with too much
noise.
i would posit that one of the best uses of auv's is to design them not simply to follow or track or listen for hostile submarines, but also to have countermeasures by sending out lots of sonar noise as well as 'mimicing' capability to make them look as if they are whatever sort of vehicle or animal that the military wants its targest to believe is there.
or...a swarm of auvs can make so much noise as to totally disable the sound-to-noise ratio of hostile enemy sonar listening devices, onboard a submarine, a ship , a bouy, or a coastal area.
why not combine the 'directed' sonar technologies now be used to disable people in crowd control applications, if possible, to enable auv's to direct their sonar to their dedicated targets.

Wouldn't this just make passive sonar easier? |

I'm presuming ambient noise can be used for echolocation. That may not be the case. |

And there's me thinking they were deployed to rupture the pressure hulls |

if you use directed sonar you seem to know where the sub is, so why not go there and hit it? |

look, nobody said these had to be good ideas. |

You could always use a decoy buoy. But I think the dolphins will get tired of all of the screaming and call their intergalactic overlords. |
