Abstract
Physics, mathematics, and chemistry were traditionally considered basic for the development of new technology. They suggested solutions for achieving maximum characteristics, such as maximum range, speed, strength, and precision, which were especially important in the military sphere. However, in recent years, new technology developers have increasingly often been addressing biological sciences. This paper considers a bionic approach to short-range underwater location, orientation, and communication equipment. This topic has been being researched at the Severtsov Institute of Ecology and Evolution, RAS, for more than 30 years.
