The authors consider some problems of supporting Russia sea activity in the important water areas of the World ocean, which cause creation of geoacoustic databases and the geoacoustic models of a sea-bottom required for all carriers of sonar means of underwater conditions imaging for operative forecasting of surveillance conditions in the navigation area and supporting efficient operation of adaptive hydroacoustic information processing algorithms. The concept of common water areas sea-bottom database creation and sea bottom geoacoustic modeling techniques are offered. Data about structure of a perspective integrated sonar system of sea-bottom monitoring and problems solved with its help are cited.
