is it not still possible to have 1 submarine and 9000 really annoying "noisemakers"? Smoke is a kind of camouflage. A constant smokescreen of sonar waves probably won't be fun for the whales...
- pfdietz 2y agoThe more sensitive detectors are, the more subject they are to spoofing, I'd think, since less noise is needed to look real.
- michaelmrose 2y agoIf they are especially noisy wouldn't that make them incredibly easy to track identify and then disregard in addition to being so expensive that your country can't even afford to have healthcare?
- Terr_ 2y agoThere's another sub-distinction (hah) I'd like to make: Smoke versus decoys. So instead of 9000 devices to blanket the area with noise so that the movements of the real submarine are hard to discern, you could have 90 decoys which are localized, and the real sub is "hiding in plain sight." In other words, the difference between obscuring "where" versus "which one."
