Active mode for range detection for launch A/S missile "Viyuga". In elderly time our subs can not have range for launch a/s missile in passive mode and need 1 -2 ping for range. For torpedoes not need use sonar in active mode. About "Viyuga" you can read: http://sovpl.forum24.ru/?1-4-20-00000083-000-0-0#003 It is soviet analog US a/s missile "Subroc".
