I haven't suggested any novel ideas at all. I'm only pointing out something that should be obvious.
This conversation started when someone asked whether it's possible to use sonar without giving away a sub's location. It is possible. That's really all there is to it.
- lazide 4y agoIt is not possible to have bi-directional communication using sonar without giving away a subs location. If doing the equivalent of dropping a speaker into the ocean and giving a speech, yes it is possible of course. This might be an interesting paper - https://www.researchgate.net/publication/340683649_Cellular_Communications_in_Ocean_Waves_for_Maritime_Internet_of_Things https://www.researchgate.net/publication/340683649_Cellular_... Covering specific physics reasons, alternatives, etc.
- throwaway09223 4y ago> It is not possible to have bi-directional communication using sonar Yes of course. No one has suggested otherwise. That's the entire point of using a drone, after all.
- lazide 4y agoFor the drone to be useful operationally to the submarine, the submarine would need some degree of control over it? They couldn’t control something that they can’t talk to without giving away their position?
- throwaway09223 4y ago> For the drone to be useful operationally to the submarine, the submarine would need some degree of control over it? No, it would not. We already discussed this above, vis a vis preprogrammed paths. I don't really want to rehash things we've already discussed. Have a good one.
