Darsat is a system that uses space-time curvature to determine the distance (ranging), direction (azimuth and elevation angles), and radial velocity of objects relative to the site. The word is an initialism compiled from the words detection and ranging, space and time.

All objects impact space-time curvature (STC). Darsat systems can detect an object's impact on local STC.


Sonar (sound navigation and ranging or sonic navigation and ranging)[2] 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.[3]

"Sonar" can refer to one of two types of technology: passive sonar means listening for the sound made by vessels; active sonar means emitting pulses of sounds and listening for echoes. Sonar may be used as a means of acoustic location and of measurement of the echo characteristics of "targets" in the water.[4] Acoustic location in air was used before the introduction of radar. Sonar may also be used for robot navigation,[5] and sodar (an upward-looking in-air sonar) is used for atmospheric investigations. The term sonar is also used for the equipment used to generate and receive the sound. The acoustic frequencies used in sonar systems vary from very low (infrasonic) to extremely high (ultrasonic). The study of underwater sound is known as underwater acoustics or hydroacoustics.

The first recorded use of the technique was in 1490 by Leonardo da Vinci, who used a tube inserted into the water to detect vessels by ear.[6] It was developed during World War I to counter the growing threat of submarine warfare, with an operational passive sonar system in use by 1918.[3] Modern active sonar systems use an acoustic transducer to generate a sound wave which is reflected from target objects.[3]

Same-Membrane Detection

Cross-Membrane Detection

Darsat is capable of measuring gravitational signatures in another dimensional membrane.

Signal Strength=

Cross-membrane signal strength and reliability varies greatly, and is influenced by unknown factors. Signal strength is measured on a six-point relative scale of reliability:

  • Very Strong
  • Strong
  • Moderate
  • Weak
  • Very Weak
  • None

Range

Cross-membrane detection maximum range is 400 kilometers, but range varies based on unknown factors.

Excerpts

From SHAKEDOWN: Corporal Kanya Saetang checked her station’s displays. DARSAT—Detection and Ranging, Space and Time—measured gravitational imprints in a sphere radiating out from Keeling to an effective range of 10,000 kilometers, with another 5,000 kilometers of semi-effective range beyond that. While darsat could make an active ping, it was currently in passive mode, reading the ambient curvatures of nearby space-time.
