Events
in 1882 Daviel Colladen attempted to calculate the speed of sound in the known depths of lake Geneva
In spring 1912 Paul Langevin and Constantin Chilowsky developed what they termed "hydrophone" a mechanism for ships to detect icebergs
In 1915 Langevin invented the first system desinged to utilize sound waves and acustical echos under water as a detection device
Periods
The development of the acoustic transducer that converted converting electrical energy to sound waves enabled the rapid advances in SONAR design and technology during the last years of world war 1
Early into World War II, the British Anti-Submarine Detection and Investigation Committee made efforts to outfit every ship in the British fleet with advanced detection devices.
