← ScienceWhich risk increases when a submarine's acoustic countermeasures exceed capacity?
A)Countermeasure signal self-interference✓
B)Compromised passive sonar reception
C)Increased sensor system power draw
D)Propeller cavitation noise masking
💡 Explanation
Signal self-interference increases because exceeding capacity causes **constructive interference** between the propagating signals, creating unintended amplification and distorted signals. Therefore, effective range decreases rather than improved performance because the propagation mechanism introduces unwanted feedback.
