Passive intercept range estimation

Ula Jolly · 07-21-05, 11:55 AM

The Akula has a rather nifty tool that allows it to check the loose proximity of any pings. However, the Kilo doesn't.
Is there any way for me to check how close a pinging source might be (very troublesome when dealing with helo dipping sonar)?
I realize that the sharper/louder ping, the closer the bastard is, but I haven't got me ears set to know the difference between one amount of Db and the other.

From where I'm standing, I can't see any other way than using one's ears, but maybe... there's a hidden way? :hmm:
