HF sonar

I'm not sure on current systems detectability, but I'm guessing this HF (especially the Gator's) is something new that normal passive sonar can't routinely detect.

I am a newbie at gaming and sonar, but I do have some ideas.

If I had a few $$ more, I would probably use spread spectrum sonar:


Sounds like frying shrimp?
It is similar to cell phone tech. It should be undetectable. Garmin apparently makes one for $2000 for fish finding.

Synthetic Aperture Sonar can find shapes.

The "Real" platform may have multiple sensors. Probably want to turn some off to focus on a specific target like in shallow water, without triggering other targets nearby. So I am guessing that we are being tasked to come up with solutions that fit various tactical scenarios that go with a pliable configuration.

The Soviets though the same thing when they installed their Kurier burst transmission system on their submarines.
