Sonar Beacon

Sonar beacons are devices used in underwater sound equipment for communication, detection, and coherent radiation purposes. They are part of the supply class of underwater sound equipment in the supply group of Communication, Detection, and Coherent Radiation Equipment.

Sonar beacons are designed to emit sound waves underwater, which are then used to detect and locate objects or to communicate with other underwater devices. These beacons typically operate at specific frequencies and can be used for various applications such as navigation, underwater mapping, underwater communication, and underwater surveillance.

The sonar beacons are usually compact and rugged, designed to withstand the harsh underwater environment. They are equipped with transducers that convert electrical signals into sound waves and vice versa. The emitted sound waves can be in the form of pulses or continuous signals, depending on the specific requirements of the application.

Sonar beacons are commonly used in industries such as marine research, underwater exploration, oil and gas exploration, underwater construction, and military operations. They play a crucial role in enhancing underwater communication, navigation, and detection capabilities.

Overall, sonar beacons are essential components of underwater sound equipment, providing reliable and efficient means of communication, detection, and coherent radiation in underwater environments.
