Sonobuoy
is a device which helps to track submarines through using sound
signal or echoes. It acts as a radar in underwater and alerts the
organization in case of infiltrations. Sonobuoy consists a
combination of sound navigation and ranging (SONAR) equipment which
propagate sound to communicate and detect underwater objects. The
Sonar equipment is normally connected to a buoy (a floating device)
which consist of antenna to establish contact with command station.
The SONAR equipment consists basically of hydrophone which collects
signal and sends to the antenna through a cable. Some sonobuoy are
connected with terminal weight which helps them reaching to the lower
bed in ocean.

In
recent years, rise in conflicts among countries to control
international trade have given rise to high investment in defense and
monitoring systems. Among these countries, many share international
water borders which provides a probable path for enemies to
infiltrate through the border. The recent growth in terrorism in Asia
Pacific region and illegal trafficking of drugs near North American
and Latin American border have cautioned the government organizations
to invest in surveillance of international waters. For surveillance
of intruding ships and boats across waters, organizations deploy war
ships in order to track and destroy probable suspects. However,
enemies can infiltrate the border using submarines and under human
occupied vehicles (HOV). Thus, organizations need to continuously
track such submarines in case of possible infiltrations. Sonobuoys
are deployed using aircrafts or unmanned air vehicles (UAV) and ships
which deploy them at specific places in the ocean. Once the Sonobuoy
are deployed into the sea/ocean, it starts transmitting signals to
the command station. The Sonobuoy can be categorized as active,
passive and special purpose Sonobuoy depending upon the type of
operation.
Active
sonobuoy continuously transmits sound signal once it starts working
and listens to the reflected sounds before transmitting to the
command station. Thus, active sonobuoy comprises transducer and
hydrophone to transmit and receive sound signals. Passive sonobuoy
consists of hydrophone which listens to incoming sound and transmits
it back to the command station. Special purpose sonobuoy systems are
increasingly being used for environmental and refraction studies.
Special purpose sonobuoy helps tracking wave height, water
temperature and seismographic variation beneath sea/ocean which help
in analysis of global warming and earthquakes. Today, sonobuoy can
also be activated remotely using radio link once it is deployed
underwater. Sonobuoy uses ultra-high frequency radio signal to
establish contact with the command station. Due to technological
advancements in sonobuoy manufacturing, these systems are now capable
of detecting submarines in littoral waters. Sonobuoy are also
available in different sizes depending upon the receiving range and
type of application. For application covering large area in deep
oceans, the size of the sonobuoy may be large due to installation of
battery and transmitter. Some sonobuoy manufacturers also provide
sonobuoy receivers which help receiving signals from a deployed
sonobuoy. Rising focus towards addressing environmental issues and
strengthening defense systems is expected to substantially drive the
market for sonobuoy in coming years. Further, the cost effectiveness
for monitor international water borders using sonobuoy compared to
deploying ships is another driving factor for the Sonobuoy market in
defense sector.
