Side-scan sonar
Side-scan sonar (also sometimes called side scan sonar, sidescan sonar, side imaging sonar, side-imaging sonar and bottom classification sonar) is a category of sonar system that is used to efficiently create an image of large areas of the sea floor.

Sonar (sound navigation and ranging) is a technique that uses sound propagation (usually underwater, as in submarine navigation) to navigate, measure distances (ranging), communicate with or detect objects on or under the surface of the water, such as other vessels. Two types of technology share the name "sonar": passive sonar is essentially listening for the sound made by vessels; active sonar is emitting pulses of sounds and listening for echoes.

Side-scan sonar
Side-scan sonar (also sometimes called side scan sonar, sidescan sonar, side imaging sonar, side-imaging sonar and bottom classification sonar) is a category of sonar system that is used to efficiently create an image of large areas of the sea floor.
Examples of use of side scan sonar
1. Sunday‘s plans included using side–scan sonar on a dive boat, said Texas EquuSearch spokesman Joe Huston.
2. They will bring three search dogs and side–scan sonar equipment, Miller said, and are committed to spending at least five days there.
3. The island has been searched by hundreds of volunteers, including a team from Texas EquuSearch, a group that also brought in dogs and side–scan sonar equipment.
4. Baind, an associate professor at the archeology department of Liverpool University, said Boncuklu Höyük was discovered during a side scan sonar.
5. The search for Holloway has also involved hundreds of volunteers, including a team from Texas EquuSearch, a group that also brought in dogs and side–scan sonar equipment.
