A Chinese ship equipped with advanced sonar equipment will soon join the search for the Malaysian airliner believed to have crashed in the southern Indian Ocean almost two years ago, an official said on Friday.
The Dong Hai Jiu 101 will leave Singapore on Sunday to join the hunt for Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 over a 120,000-square- kilometer (46,000-square-mile) expanse of deep seabed by late February, Australian Deputy Prime Minister Warren Truss said.
The ship brings the state-of-the-art Synthetic Aperture Sonar (SAS), which some experts say is more accurate than standard 75 kHz side-scan sonar devises that have been used to scan most of the area searched so far.
With standard acoustic sonar, the image becomes less clear the farther a seabed object is from the equipment. But with SAS, the image remains sharp regardless of an object's distance.

"And, I'm afraid that you've made an ASSumption that the bad guys aren't capable of adjusting their strategy and tactics to new situations. Do you think that they are stupid, and can't learn?"
Never underestimate your opponents. As stated, if you believe that the terrorists can't learn, then you're going to be fighting last decade's terrorists, while today's terrorists are stomping a mudhole in your ass.
