Obstacle Avoidance Sonars
Today's shipping
lanes and harbors are full of hazards... partially submerged
shipping containers, oil drums, timber, wrecks, debris, not to
mention bottom hazards such as rocks, wrecks, reefs, and
sandbars. Deliberate manmade risks include offshore
platforms, sea mines, and scuba equipped pirates.
Reduce your chances of coming into contact with such undesirables by installing a long range obstacle avoidance sonar on your commercial vessel.
Easy to interpret colour displays can permit you to acoustically see ahead, below, and to the sides of your valuable vessel and cargo.
Sonar pods can be relatively easily retrofitted to your vessel's bottom during normal dry-dock maintenance. Keel protects sonar transducer pods from most sources of damage. Hull conformal hydrophone arrays also available for those customers requiring the greatest ranges and performance. Frequencies, coverage angles, and other parameters are tuned for your specific needs.
