    This paper describes a prototype antistranding sonar system developed in a joint program by Raytheon and the Office of Research and Development of the Maritime Administration. The system displays ranges to both discrete underwater obstacles and shoaling conditions in a ship´s path. The theory of operation, hardware developed and the results of initial R & D experiments are presented and discussed,
