Submarine detection system
Submarine detection systems are an aspect of antisubmarine warfare and nuclear deterrence. They break down into two categories; acoustic and non-acoustic.
Acoustic systems in turn break down into active sonar systems and passive sonar systems designed to detect the acoustic signature of submarines such as SOSUS.
Non-acoustic systems can work on a variety of different physical principles, including the use of magnetic anomaly detectors[1] and systems such as SOKS, which are believed to work by detecting trace chemicals or radioactivity in a submarine's wake.[2][3]
