A brief overview of the main achievements in the field of applied
acoustics that served the needs of defense during the Great Patriotic War
and their subsequent development is given. The review is divided into
three parts: (1) underwater sound, (2) air acoustics and (3) applications
to medicine. Each section provides historical information about the most
important developments during the war, as well as their development
after the Victory. Physical phenomena underlying technical solutions are
indicated, and acoustic specificity is emphasized.
