Abstract
This paper outlines the fundamental aspects of the technology of sonar. Particular attention is given to the properties of the ocean that limit the propagation of underwater sound and to the inherent background noises that limit the performance of sonar. The basic choices that are available in design to meet these limitations are discussed and the present state of the art is described in broad terms.
