• A sonobuoy (a portmanteau of sonar and buoy) is a
relatively small buoy (typically 13 cm or 5 in, in
diameter and 91 cm or 3 ft long) expendable sonar
system that is dropped/ejected from aircraft or ships
conducting anti-submarine warfare or underwater
acoustic research. A tactical sonar system for
transmitting submarine activity, the sonobuoy is a
core technology for anti-submarine warfare.
