Σύνοψη	The sonar equation is a fundamental framework for predicting the detection range and performance of active and passive sonar systems in underwater environments. Systematized by Robert Urick in his seminal 1983 work, the sonar equation quantifies the acoustic signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) needed for detection, accounting for source level, propagation loss, noise characteristics, and receiver sensitivity. It is the cornerstone of underwater acoustic system design, naval detection systems, marine research, and subsea communication.	The Room Impulse Response (RIR) is a measure of how a physical space (room) affects acoustic signals propagating through it. First formalized by Manfred Schroeder in 1965, RIR captures the complete acoustic character of a space by measuring the system response to an impulsive sound source. It is fundamental to characterizing room acoustics, designing audio systems, and modeling spatial audio effects.
