Review on Anti-UUV Detection Sonar System

Abstract

Unmanned undersea vehicles(UUV) can perform varieties of underwater special operation missions. In recent years, enemy UUVs have posed serious threats to the safety of key equipment in ports and coastal areas. Anti-UUV detection sonar is an important method for realizing early warning of enemy UUVs intrusion and protecting ports and coasts. This paper briefly analyzes the characteristics of UUV and their detection difficulties. The research status of several typical foreign UUV detection systems using diver detection sonar and coast surveillance sonar systems is introduced. This paper summarizes the key technologies, main problems, and development directions of anti-UUV detection sonar systems and provides a reference for the research of anti-UUV detection sonar systems within the industry.
