USS Abraham Lincoln Uses Passive Sonar and Infrared Systems for Stealthy Threat Detection

The USS Abraham Lincoln employs advanced passive sonar and infrared technologies to detect threats while minimizing its own detectability. It halts active sonar to avoid revealing its location, relying on escort destroyers, towed arrays, and helicopter sonobuoys for silent submarine tracking. Additionally, the carrier uses electro-optical sensors and infrared-guided Phalanx weapon systems to monitor and defend against nighttime surface attacks, maintaining a comprehensive, stealthy defense.
