AI overview

Sonar is a technology that uses sound waves to detect and locate objects underwater, as demonstrated by systems like those installed on military frigates and used to create images of shipwrecks on the ocean floor. It matters because it enables vessels and navies to identify submarines, mines, and other underwater objects that would otherwise be invisible to human sight.
