MIT has developed a sonar system for faster deep-sea searches, inspired by challenges faced during the Titan submersible incident.
On June 18, 2023, the Titan submersible, carrying five passengers, lost communication with its support ship about an hour and a half into its two-hour descent towards the Titan ic wreck, located nearly two miles beneath the Atlantic Ocean.
Such operations often require weeks, particularly in remote areas. Fortunately, a Canadian vessel with a remotely operated underwater vehicle located the Titan debris field just four days later.In response to these challenges, a research team from MIT Lincoln Laboratory and the MIT Department of Mechanical Engineering’s Ocean Science and Engineering lab is developing a groundbreaking sonar system to revolutionize deep-sea search missions.
This approach allows for vast-area scanning at surface-ship speeds while delivering the high-resolution imagery typically associated with underwater vehicles. This new sonar technology promises to combine the benefits of both methods—maintaining high resolution while covering larger areas quickly.
