SUB-BOTTOM SOUNDING: A SURVEY FOR NAVAL APPLICATIONS.

Abstract

The sub-bottom profiling techniques have vastly improved over the last several years. Many commercial companies are presently engaged in the manufacture of either individual components or the entire system largely as a result of its applicability to petroleum exploration. New systems and innovations are developing at a rate whereby it is difficult to remain current. Interest in the technique has likewise increased within the Navy, and more than several research projects built around its use are currently receiving Navy funding. It was therefore deemed advisable that a survey of existing equipment characteristics and manufacturers be made to serve as a guide to potential Navy users as to the possible applications of this technique.
