Technical Needs and Challenges in Harbor Surveillance

From GE Fanuc Intelligent Platforms
 

 

Sonar for naval applications was originally developed to detect and locate underwater threats in deep water, such as submarines. It was discovered that this deep water sonar was not very effective at locating smaller objects such as mines. It became well known that in order to detect and localize small objects in the water, higher sonar frequencies were required. The use of these higher frequencies added significant complexity to the systems required to acquire and analyze the sonar data.
