Acoustical scoring, or acoustic signature, is used to describe a combination of acoustic emissions of sound emitters, such as those on ships and submarines. In addition, aircraft, machinery and living animals can be described as having their own characteristic acoustic signatures or sound attributes, which can be used to study their condition, behaviour and physical location. Within the military, the analysis of acoustic signatures are an important adjunct to passive sonar used to track naval warships and weapons. Similar methods have been used to identify aircraft, especially before the development of sophisticated radar tracking.
