Vigilant

navigation and manoeuvres around hazardous obstacles. The system consists of a sonar projector and receiver array mounted in the vessel’s bow (or optionally on a retractable deployment pole) and bridge software. At 31 cm-wide and weighing only 14 kg in air, the sonar is easy to handle and install on a wide range of naval, offshore support, or research vessels. Vigilant has two principal operating modes, 3D mode and Sonar mode. 3D mode produces 3D bathymetry and colour coded depth imagery using our proprietary Altitude Confidence Filter (ACF), out to 600 m and down to 100 m. Sonar mode processes the intensity of the acoustic data to extract long-range positional data out to 1.5 km and over a 120 degree field of view. In this mode, the sonar returns are used to generate alerts to the operator (or a third-party system) to the presence of a navigationally relevant obstacle. With its history mapping capability, a comprehensive picture of the underwater environment surrounding the vessel is built up, providing crews with greater situational awareness. Key features: Navigate with confidence; reduces the risk of underwater collisions and groundings Long range hazard detection allows for time to change course Compact design with mounting options to suit both new-build or retrofit Compatible with your existing bridge systems.
