  • navigatsiooni- ja mõõtetehnika, mis kasutab heli levimist (tavaliselt vee all, nagu allveelaevade navigeerimisel), et navigeerida, mõõta kaugusi ja vahemikke, suhelda või tuvastada veepinnal või selle all olevaid objekte, näiteks teisi laevu jne.
  • navigation and ranging technique that uses sound propagation (usually underwater, as in submarine navigation) to navigate, measure distances (ranging), communicate with or detect objects on or under the surface of the water, such as other vessels
helinavigatsiooni- ja mõõtetehnika
Usage examples
  • Helinavigatsiooni- ja mõõtetehnika võib viidata ühele kahest mõõtetehnoloogia tüübist: passiivne mõõtetehnoloogia tähendab laevade tekitatud heli kuulamist; aktiivne mõõtetehnoloogia tähendab heliimpulsside kiirgamist ja kaja kuulamist.
sound navigation and ranging preferred abbreviation
Usage examples
  • The sound navigation and ranging can refer to one of two types of technology: passive sonar means listening for the sound made by vessels; active sonar means emitting pulses of sounds and listening for echoes.
