Underwater Diver Detection

  • Commercial and Naval Ports & Harbours

  • Expeditionary warfare units in overseas ports are widely recognized as the most visible and vulnerable of targets.

  • Valuable oil and gas refineries liquefied natural gas terminals and power stations.

  • Rapid deployed over the side of the vessel or from a jetty by one person using only minimal equipment.

The  Diver Detection Sonar System (DDSS) is a single- or multi-head active sonar system designed to automatically detect and track underwater and surface threats, principally divers (scuba or closed-circuit, with or without propulsion aids), surface swimmers and un-mannedThe system will track simultaneously multiple targets up to a range of 950
underwater vehicles. in ideal conditions,withmetre of targets such as divers occurring at 900 classification meters the system

 

will also provide upon classification the targets the previous trail.
The maximum location depth is 100metres
Applications
The practicality of the WG DDSS design makes the system a realistic option for protecting a wide range of maritime assets:-

• Tripod seabed mounting;
The system is designed for a wide range of installation configurations:-
DeploymentSea bed mounting;
Harbour Entrance / Fixed Point ProtectionJetty / harbor wall mounting;
• Pole mounting over the side of vessels;
• Freely suspended over the side of vessels;
• Through-hull deployment.
For a permanent installation of the sonar heads either the “Seabed mounting" or the Jetty/harbor wall mounting would be utilized or a combination of both types depending on the actual layout of the harbor to be protected.
The Tripod seabed mounting is normally used for rapid deployment and temporary installations.
