The present invention relates to an echo repeater/beacon system for use on-board marine vessels and platforms. The system includes a hydrophone for receiving an incoming acoustic signal from a remote station, an on-board computer for analyzing, detecting, shaping, collecting and storing up to 10 seconds of a shaped version of the incoming signal for later transmission as an echo signal, and a transmitting transducer for transmitting the echo signal. The on-board computer also is used to generate a beacon signal at a desired frequency and a desired repetition rate.
