Global SONAR system market

SONAR system market Overview

A SONAR System is used to locate objects under the surface of the water by sending sound waves, in this acoustic signal or pulse is generated and sent in water which bounces off any object underwater and is received back. SONAR stands for Sound Navigation and Ranging. SONAR is very helpful for exploring, navigating, communicating, and detecting lost or hazardous objects and mapping the ocean because the speed of sound waves in water is more as compared to the radar and light waves.

Major SONAR system market Drivers

The main factors responsible for driving the growth of the Global Sonar System Market are increase in the demand of sonar systems in advanced defence and military forces for operations like preventive control and anti-submarine warfare. There has been a growing adoption in the methods as Sonar system’s application is rising in the fishery industry, different countries are collaborating for technology transfer. Moreover, there has been demand for high-resolution imaging for seabed mapping for military and commercial applications and this demand will also further boost the market creating huge opportunities for the global sonar system market, there has also been extreme demand for Unmanned Underwater Vehicles (UUVs) for many exploration and commercial purposes. However, adverse effects of sonar system on marine life as well as complexity associated to the installation of the integrated SONAR is the major restraint for the market.
