{{main|Sonar|Acoustic location}}

[[Acoustic location]] is a method of navigation by the use of acoustic positioning systems which determine the position of an object by using [[sound waves]]. It is primarily used by [[submarines]] and ships fitted with [[sonar]] and similar transducer based technologies.<ref name="l124">{{cite book | last1=Christ | first1=Robert D. | last2=Wernli | first2=Robert L. | title=The ROV Manual | chapter=Practical Applications | publisher=Elsevier | year=2014 | isbn=978-0-08-098288-5 | doi=10.1016/b978-0-08-098288-5.00021-x | pages=561–599}}</ref><ref name="k448">{{cite web | title=Long Range Acoustic Communications and Navigation in the Arctic | url=https://acomms.whoi.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/20/2016/11/FreitagBallPartanKoskiSingh_Arctic_2015.pdf | publisher=Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution |access-date=2025-02-24}}</ref> [[Underwater acoustic positioning system]]s are also commonly used by divers and [[Remotely operated underwater vehicle]]s, specifically the [[Long baseline acoustic positioning system]], the [[Short baseline acoustic positioning system]] and the [[Ultra-short baseline acoustic positioning system]].<ref name="l124"/><ref name="c798">{{cite web | title=Precision acoustic navigation for remotely operated vehicles (ROV) | url=https://bibliotekanauki.pl/articles/985799.pdf | publisher=Hydroacoustics, 2005 - bibliotekanauki.pl| access-date=2025-02-24}}</ref>
