Important Innovations Collection: Sounds of Sea Creatures as Sub Detection
Spy Fish - DARPA'S Secret Submarine Surveillance Weapon All Natural - From the Sounds of Fish The Pentagon's DARPA (US Defense Dept.'s Advanced Research Projects Agency) is launching a 5 year research program to enable fish sounds to be picked up by underwater sensor networks to detect silent submarines that are undetectable at this time. This starts with a rigorous study of fish reactions to disturbances in their environment and the development of underwater sensor monitoring stations to pick-up those sounds and provide alerts to the US military about silent submarines. DARPA calls it the third wave of surveillance that's adds on to passive and active sonar detection systems.
