Harbor Security Systems
Our Harbor Defense Sensor Network (HDSN) provides real-time underwater threat detection through advanced sonar nodes. This system integrates with multiple sensor technologies to protect critical maritime infrastructure. With proven deployment in military and commercial ports, our solution offers unmatched accuracy in identifying underwater intrusions while minimizing false alarms through sophisticated signal processing algorithms.
Marine Mammal Protection
Active Acoustic Monitoring (AAM) systems detect and track marine life near oceanic installations. Our technology prevents ship strikes and protects sensitive species through real-time alerts during industrial operations. Developed in partnership with the Office of Naval Research, these systems combine audio and visual tracking capabilities to monitor migration patterns and ensure compliance with environmental regulations during underwater activities.
Sonar Design & Prototyping
From concept to deployment, we design custom sonar hardware for extreme environments. Our capabilities include sensor housing development for Arctic conditions, buoy systems that penetrate ice, and multi-static array configurations. With in-house fabrication and testing facilities, we deliver tailored solutions for defense and research applications requiring specialized acoustic monitoring equipment.
Signal Processing
Our integrated hardware-software development approach optimizes underwater signal processing from sensor to display. Specializing in high-frequency systems, we provide real-time data interpretation for threat detection and environmental monitoring. The team works with cutting-edge computing platforms to deliver actionable intelligence through advanced algorithms and visualization tools for maritime operations.
Arctic Research Deployment
We engineer sonar systems capable of operating in extreme polar environments. Our solutions include sensor housings that protect equipment from harsh conditions and ice-penetrating buoy technology. These systems enable year-round data collection in Arctic regions, supporting both defense operations and climate research through reliable underwater monitoring capabilities in some of Earth's most challenging environments.
