Abstract

Abstract: The sonar of dolphins has evolved over millions of years and has attained outstanding performance levels. Using the exceptional performance of the dolphins’ sonar as an impetus, bio-inspired wideband acoustic sensing approaches for underwater target recognition and tracking are under development. In this study, we have sight seen what they expect to extract as a gain from such a wideband sonar. The systems wideband sensors are grounded on bottlenose dolphins’ sonar, encapsulating a frequency band from about 30 to 150 kHz and having a frequency reliant on beamwidth substantially larger than that of conventional imaging sonars. The system can be made fairly compact and apt for mounting on diverse platforms including small-scale autonomous underwater automobiles to permit the sonar to function in an analogous way to that used by dolphins. In this paper, we have highlighted the mechanism and applications of the sonar innovation in various domains along with the ongoing developments with regard to it.
