Submarines are vulnerable to detection through their underwater magnetic signature. As this influence is unrelated to acoustic signatures, magnetic detection is feasible even for acoustically-quiet submarines or in littoral waters. The MAD hardware and the associated geological noise-reduction algorithms and submarine-detection algorithms are used to localize submarines from aircraft. The MAD technology has significant links to the geophysical exploration industry. 1, record 4, English, - magnetic%20anomaly%20detection

Les sous-marins sont vulnérables à la détection en raison de leur signature magnétique sous-marine. Comme cette influence n’ est pas reliée aux signatures acoustiques, la détection magnétique est possible même pour des sous-marins à acoustique atténuée ou dans les eaux littorales. Le matériel MAD et les algorithmes géologiques réducteurs de bruit et les algorithmes de détection des sous-marins connexes sont utilisés pour localiser les sous-marins à partir d’un aéronef. La technologie MAD est étroitement liée à l'industrie de la prospection géophysique. 1, record 4, French, - d%C3%A9tection%20d%27anomalies%20magn%C3%A9tiques
