SEADAR™ extends the capabilities of active electromagnetic sensing to marine environments, providing operators with critical data which fill the gaps left by conventional subsea sensors. Determining the presence and location of conductive objects in the ocean is imperative for search, analysis, monitoring, and defense of subsea terrain and marine assets.
The core SEADAR™ technology has two configurations:
- SEADAR™ Survey – Vessel-Towed Metal Detection Radar
- Long Range Target Reconnaissance – Detect the presence of large targets from far away.
- Small Target / Geolocation Scanning – Precise mapping of conductive objects of interest and hazards in survey zone.
- Sub-Bottom Penetration / 3D Mapping – See targets buried in the seabed subsurface.
- Differentiation of manmade conductive material from anomalous natural geology.
- Unrivaled detection of isolated nonferrous metals in the ocean.
- Sonar unable to specifically identify the presence of metals
- Magnetometers unable to detect nonferrous metals
- SEADAR™ Shield – Underwater Intruder Detection Radar
- Continuous Real-Time Monitoring – Detect, observe, and track multiple, simultaneous conductive objects/craft throughout the water column.
- Modular System – Create an underwater surveillance fence with customized coverage for varied environments and security needs.
- Definitive Identification of Manmade Metallic Intrusions – Get higher target identification confidence and counteract sonar’s susceptibility to operator/AI error in differentiating manmade vs. natural targets.
- Anomaly Detection and Security Assurance – Identify anomalies in routine activity and unauthorized/covert intrusions, allowing fast and accurate responses to potential threats.
- Advanced Stealth Detection – Spot craft using noise-dampening/distorting technologies like anechoic tiles or stealth propellers, reducing security vulnerabilities.
