Anti-submarine warfare (ASW) refers to the tactics and techniques used to detect, track, and neutralize submarines. This is crucial for naval operations, as submarines can pose significant threats to surface ships and coastal installations. ASW involves various methods, including the use of sonar, aircraft, and surface ships equipped with specialized equipment. To effectively combat submarines, navies employ a combination of technologies and strategies. These may include sonar systems for underwater detection, torpedoes for engagement, and submarine-hunting aircraft that can cover large areas. The goal of ASW is to ensure maritime security and protect naval assets from underwater threats.
