En la actualidad, llamamos SONAR a cualquier sistema que, haciendo uso de las ondas de sonido que se transmiten a través del agua, pueda localizar un objeto sumergido. Este instrumento comenzó siendo conocido de una manera bien distinta. El sistema era llamado ASDIC, un nombre que se correspondía con las siglas del proyecto antisubmarino que estaban llevando a cabo los aliados(Anti-Submarine Detection Investigation Committee) al final de la Primera Guerra Mundial. 1, record 1, Spanish, - asdic
