Description: An assessment is made of the impact of current technological developments on future research in high resolution sonar.  The philosophical approach is from the point of view of examining the rate of information flow at each stage through the system.  It is concluded that large computer memories under microprocessor control and fiber optic data links can be fruitfully applied in future system architecture.  In addition, the necessity for further research in precision naviagation systems and pattern recognition algorithms #20--became apparent, in order to achieve reliable classification of underwater objects along with high area search rates.
