2. Not tracked by radar and GPS
Looking in water is sort of sophisticated and totally different from looking out on land or within the air. The search staff can not depend on radar and GPS as regular.
Water and air are totally different media. Water has the next molecular density than air, which makes GPS and radar ineffective as a result of they’re blocked and absorbed by molecules.
As a substitute is to make use of sound waves or sonar. This technique has a low frequency. Sonar will bounce off objects and create echoes to have the ability to discover objects misplaced in water.
