Seabat 7112 Multi-beam Sonar System for Diver Detection11/09/2007 |
| The SeaBat 7112 system consists of a circular array and projector ensonifying a cylindrical volume of water up to 1000 meters across. Designed to detect small targets such as divers with closed circuit re-breather equipment, the systems will track and alert operators of their presence on a geo-referenced map of the area. |

The SeaBat 7112 system was delivered on 4th September to TOYO in Japan where high-quality demands are placed on waterside security solutions in an innovative market. A single transmit beam illuminates the entire 360° volume to provide complete sector coverage. Among the available options for SeaBat 7112 is an Automated Detection & Tracking Software (ADT) to improve the tracking of divers. This software has previously demonstrated its value during the NATO sponsored Harbor Protection Trials in La Spezia in Italy last year where a SeaBat 7128 was used to detect and track targets.

On 3rd September 2007 a harbour test of the SeaBat 7112 was performed in Copenhagen (Denmark) with support from Royal Danish Navy divers wearing re-breather equipment. Despite deployment in an area close to concrete structures, the SeaBat 7112 was able to track the divers at long range. At close range SeaBat 7112 produced some spectacular images. The sonar was placed on its custom-developed tripod on the bottom of the harbour at a depth of 11.5 metres approximately 6 metres from the pier. The sonar produced impressive imagery and very little noise, enabling good detection even at long ranges.
