Sonar

The ‘Clever Buoy’ is the world’s first shark detection buoy, which uses advanced and specifically designed sonar and identification software to detect the sharks’ movements. The Clever Buoy system is calibrated to detect sonar images which match the swim patterns, shapes and wakes which sharks parade, allowing this innovative technology to differentiate sharks from other marine life. The Clever Buoy is as an innovation as it has used existing real-time communication technologies for a newly refined purpose, as well as incorporating emerging forms of technology (bespoke sonar and identification software by Shark Mitigation Systems (SMS)) into the development of the system. This system has since become unprecedented in the world of water safety, standing as the newest form of shark defence in the past 60 years. Australia has four times more fatal shark attacks than any other country, and over the past 60 years, methods to deter sharks, whether it is ethical or otherwise, have only consisted of; • Shark Nets- 40% of sharks which come into close proximity of popular…

Physics Final Exam Question 1 The working of the submarines sonar is focused around the way that Sound goes at distinctive paces focused around water temperature, weight and saltiness. Sound curves to colder water - nonetheless, when sound achieves deeper water, weight turns into the overriding variable and twists sound over at the surface. Knowing where the warm layers are tells Submarine Sonar Techs where the warm layers are, and from that point how sound will engender through the water. This…

Stacy Deveau CJ 521-031 Doctor Siegel November 9, 2014 Genetic Neural Sonar and its Positive Attributes to Society The mapping device known as the Genetic Neural Sonar has been actively tested and used from Yale University Medical School. This device has the capability of locating inherited gene base abnormalities in brain structure and chemistry. This mapping device could and would be used to map the brain genetic structure and determine if an individual has…

The world is a bustling and noisy place, and now so is underwater. With drilling and marine sonar testing, it is no wonder whales can't live in peace and quiet. So it is our job to bring a halt to all the noise and allow these beautiful creatures to live in peace! I think that the underwater noise does in fact, affect the live of whales and many sea creatures. One reason I do believe that these noises are affecting whales is because scientist conducted an experiment over a two year span,…

The atomic bomb was and is still today the most destructive weapon in history. When detonated it a spray up a giant mushroom cloud of soot and ashes that would gloom upon the city below. World War II was one of the most destructive and costliest wars in history. The war lasted six years, and over sixty million people, both military and civilians, lost their lives. As the war raged on, the Allies and the Axis Powers sought to develop better technologies to gain the advantage. Both sides…

The United States military have been conducting underwater testing of explosive weapons and sonar devices in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, including the Gulf of Mexico. In 2009 Scientific American released an article about the effects of military sonar testing on marine life, confirming that it can and has lead to both injury and death of marine animals. Male sperm whales normally migrate from their tropical or subtropical breeding grounds to colder waters at higher latitudes. The species is…

The text and the lecture offer two opposing views on the possible causes of the ‘quacker sound’ which were heard by sailors in Russian submarines. While the text lists theories for those strange sound, the professor counters those specific points and explains that the theories might be accurate but there are certain problems with each of them and all the theories doubtable. First, the reading argues that the Orcas whales produce sound to attract a male is like this strange sound. On the other…

There has been a sharp rise in whales stranding in recent years, and this problem has been of great concern to all. Sometimes whales swim into shallow water and end up stranding themselves on beaches in many parts of the world. For example, Scientific American reported that fifty-five false killer whales that washed up on a beach in South Africa in 2009. Why do whales beach themselves? Did they feel so sad? This essay will discuss how this problem has emerged. Scientists and marine biologist…

RADAR/SONAR, rubber, jet engines, and the atomic bomb. Military strategy and tactics were also vital during the war. Both the defeated and the victors of World War II strategically considered some geographical conditions and invented innovations to facilitate them during the war. Innovations Digital Electronics Digital devices and other computing devices were improved significantly during the war. There was the Colossus project by the British and the American Electronic Numerical Integrator…
