Suppose we could devise a means for soldiers to see using sonar, like a machine that takes the data from active sonar and renders it into a sort of visual form. I'm pretty sure it would take a lot of training for a soldier to learn to actually be able to fight like that, because sonar doesn't carry the same level of detail as regular vision, especially if it's being translated into a visual picture.
Anyway.... would using that technology together with smoke generators be a viable battle strategy? I'm thinking that the smoke would be more or less transparent to sound, even if most frequencies of light are blocked by it. So, we'd be able to see them, but they wouldn't be able to see us. Would it give us enough of an advantage to justify all the effort? |
