RESON Demos Diver Detection Capabilities in UK Ports

11/17/2009

Three separate demonstrations at Southampton, Falmouth and Chichester were conducted to test contraband detection using the SeaBat 7128 multibeam sonar system. These demos were staged in front of representatives from the Royal Navy, the Royal Netherlands Navy, and the US Navy. During the demonstrations RESON reports that it was able to positively identify items as small as a brick at ranges above 30 m, and at water depths of 7 to 20 m. A fourth trial for the Royal Navy of the SeaBat 7112 multibeam sonar system was focusing on diver detection. Using the SeaBat 7112 system in conjunction with the SeaBat 7128 system for diver detection, RESON was able to detect targets on a long distance, and making positive distinctions between divers and other targets.
