What are the current strategies used to detect and track submarines in the open ocean?
user
The current strategies for detecting and tracking submarines in the open ocean involve multiple methods, some passive and others active. Passive methods, such as hydroacoustic and electric-field monitoring, are used to detect and record sounds made by submarines while active techniques rely on radar, electronic signals generated by vessels or weapons systems aimed at subs with the purpose of determining their position.

What are the current strategies used to detect and track submarines in the open ocean?
user
The most commonly used techniques for tracking and detecting submarines in the open ocean include using passive sonar to listen for underwater noise generated by the submarine’s propulsion system, satellite imagery, radar systems mounted on ships and aircraft to detect target acoustics or heat exhaust from diesel motors.  Submarine can also be detected with advanced decoy systems and magnetic anomaly detection.
