The new Sentinel Diver Detection System, from Sonardyne International, successfully completed a four-day series of intensive trials at the US Naval Underwater Warfare Center, Newport, Rhode Island during October. Although full details of the tests cannot be disclosed, the US Navy subjected the system to a variety of threat scenarios. The Sentinel not only met all requirements of the tests, but also exceeded expectations during the challenging appraisal.
Rob Balloch, strategic development director for Sonardyne said; “For a product such as Sentinel, the US Naval Underwater Warfare Centre is the ultimate test bed. Exceeding the US Navy’s requirements for diver detection is the finest accolade. We believe that we can now offer Sentinel
confident that our product will meet the expectations of anyone needing a high performance underwater intruder detection system at a realistic price. This could be for naval, commercial or private vessels, offshore and coastal installations or complete harbours.”
Sentinel is a third generation sonar system designed specifically for underwater security. Compact and easily deployed, the Sentinel head is only 30cm in diameter, 40cm high and weighs less than 65lb. The 360 deg sonar can operate as a stand-alone portable system or has been designed to allow multiple heads to be networked together to provide a wide area domain awareness.
