Seismic[edit]

Dont think the section on seismics belongs here. 88.105.188.93 14:42, 4 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Natural vs technological[edit]

This article manages to completely avoid mentioning its very close relative: sound localization. That one is about the natural methods, this one about amplifying natural methods using technology. Not good! The only brush with that other article in this one is the tiny section entitled "Biological echo location", including not even a link to the main article. The topics should both refer to each other, at least. I do not think they should be merged but they could be to cover the subject in a very complete manner.

is this paragraph correct?[edit]

Microphones used with these devices enable active localization while speakers enable passive localization.

On tablet so hard to edit, but have read that sentence a few times, and seems inverted. A reciever/microphone would be used for passive (and active) while a transmitter/speaker would be used for active. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 27.252.115.208 (talk) 04:20, 27 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Merge[edit]

It seems that acoustic source localization equals passive acoustic location. fgnievinski (talk) 19:02, 12 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Ecotracer[edit]

There was a section in this article titled "Ecotracer", which was a merge from Ecotracer. Its only reference was to one now-defunct hobbyist page. That page did not use the term "ecotracer", and I can't find any references that support it except Wikipedia-sourced cruft, so I think this is citogenesis. Some of the text was also a copyvio from the hobbyist page, and what wasn't seems redundant to the military use info elsewhere in the article, so I'm just removing the whole section.

Interwiki cleanup?[edit]

Apparently many interwikis, having echo- in them, discuss only active ranging, but not old-school passive sound location. Perhaps, splitting wikidata bundle into two? Retired electrician (talk) 19:44, 13 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

purely passive stuff is under d:Q1584129) heading (no en: entry - ?). Retired electrician (talk) 19:49, 13 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Faulty text[edit]

The text: ”A single active sonar can localize in range and bearing as well as measuring radial speed. However, a single passive sonar can only localize in bearing directly” ….is not true. One single passive sonar can also solve for range as well as bearing. 90.229.210.161 (talk) 20:56, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
