If you watch the video above he said they rely on sea charts. My understanding is when hunting they rely on passive sonar with extremely sophisticated signal processing.

I don't think anyone can actually tell us since it is secret.

If you put your completely speculative engineering hat on you can imagine other techniques such as a non hiding third party issuing signals which are then detected by the hiding party. Complete speculation on my part as I've never worked in the defense industry.
