The UK is exploring the possibility of equipping civilian ships with affordable and portable fiber optic sonar systems capable of detecting Russian submarines and warships at distances over 60 miles. The technology, already tested by the Royal Navy and used by the Dutch military, could help offset the reduction in the British fleet and strengthen defense amid increasing Russian naval activity around UK waters and undersea cables.
