RESON successfully trial their contraband and diver detection systems in 4 ports
The trials at Southampton, Falmouth and Chichester were to test contraband detection and the trials in a Royal Navy base were for diver detection.
The trials of the SeaBat 7128 system were staged for representatives of the Royal Navy, the Royal Netherlands Navy, the Caribineri and the US Navy and the SeaBat 7112 trials for the Royal Navy.
During the trials using the Seabat 7128 system the RESON team were able to positively identify items as small as a household brick at ranges between 40-60 yards at water depths of 7-20 metres. For items this small detection ranges like this cannot be achieved even by a modern naval mine-hunter.
Using the SeaBat 7112 multibeam sonar in conjunction with the 7128 system for diver detection, the RESON team were able were able to detect and classify targets at up to 700 m making positive distinctions between divers and other targets such as seals.
SeaBat 7128 multibeam forward looking sonar has high resolution and installation flexibility and is ideal for an immense variety of underwater imaging applications on a surface vessel, ROV or AUV platform in shallow water and to 6000m depth. The SeaBat 7128 focused beams, high ping rate and bandwidth combine to provide the user with superior resolution and image quality.
SeaBat 7112 multibeam sonar system for diver detection consists of a circular array and projector ensonifying a cylindrical volume of water up to 1600 meters across. Designed to detect small targets such as divers with closed circuit re-breather equipment, the systems will track and alert operators of their presence on a geo-referenced map of the area.
