Hydrophone and Hydrophone Array technology is enabler of Anti Submarine Warfare
A hydrophone is an underwater listening device, just as a microphone is used to detect sound in the air. Hydrophone detects sounds in the water and converts the acoustic energy into electrical energy by detecting changes in pressure in the surrounding environment. Hydrophones listen to sounds in the sea, but …

DNA technology, the study and manipulation of genetic material has revolutionized modern science. Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a molecule that contains the biological instructions that make each species unique. DNA, along with the instructions it contains, is passed from adult organisms to their offspring during reproduction. Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), or an …
