China Uses Warship Sounds To Improve Submarine Target Tracking
China is leveraging innovative acoustic technology to enhance its submarine target tracking capabilities. Recent reports indicate the People’s Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) is utilizing recorded warship sounds to improve detection and tracking of surface vessels, particularly in challenging underwater environments. This development underscores a growing emphasis on advanced sensor technology within the PLAN.
Seals’ amphibious hearing developed a long, long time ago
Recent research provides compelling evidence for the early evolution of seals’ remarkable amphibious hearing. By analyzing the ear structures of hundreds of marine mammals, scientists have deduced that pinnipeds—the group including seals, sea lions, and walruses—developed exceptional hearing capabilities in both air and water significantly earlier than previously understood. This evolutionary adaptation highlights a key factor in their transition to a semi-aquatic lifestyle.
