Multibeam sonar for ships (3D)
FS-SPS Ship Protection System
FarSounder, Inc.
Underwater Threat Detection
System capabilities include 360º detection of divers and other threats with automatic detection, tracking, classification and alarm algorithms. The technology has been optimized for challenging and shallow environments. The display offers electronic overlays and can differentiate between divers, marine mammals and other benign objects, with minimal false alarms.
Forward Looking Navigation
When underway, the system can be used in a navigation mode. In this mode, system capabilities parallel that of the FS-3ER with maximum range out to 800 m - 1000 m.
The FarSounder Advantage
Some of the advantages of FarSounder's Ship Protection System over a drop down system include:
No moving parts: no mechanical moving parts to maintain
Nothing protruding below the hull: can be deployed in very shallow water
No internal space usage: such as would be with a hydraulic hoist deployed system
Instantaneous operation: no time required to lower or raise a system
Vessel can get underway immediately a threat is identified: a hydraulic hoist will have very limited speed capability
Same ease of maintenance as the FarSounder navigation systems: transducer can easily be removed by a diver for cleaning or maintenance
Includes an added benefit: includes a 3D FLS navigation sonar while underway
Zero Time to Deploy, Zero Time to Secure™
