The device to 600 feet. it's all going to be about how the sound prop gates in the water. it has to do with the fundamental properties of the ocean, the temperature, the sal lynnity. it's hard without understanding the water column right at that point to understand how far, what kind of range it can detect that. but it is -- the device that we manufacture is for shallow water applications. >> thomas altshuler, thanks for clarifying. we appreciate it. >> thank you. still to come, nic robertson tells us about a developing twist in the disappearance of flight 370. nic? >> reporter: senior malay...

Certainly. >> the plane's radar track shows it skirted indonesia on its path toward the indian ocean, taking a route that suggests they say an intent to avoid radar detection. so whether the moves of flight 370 were intentional or not. the fact does remain, there are questions about how a boeing 777 could simply vanish. it does raise a slew of security concerns about just how planes are tracked. >> joining us for more on this is our martin savidge and -- it's interesting martin and i want you, mitchell, to chime in on this as well. the officials are saying that it skirted indonesian radar.
