Additional Sentinel Integrated Swimmer Detection Systems Order

  10/12/2009
Sonardyne International has sold and delivered additional Sentinel Intruder Detection Sonar Systems for the US Navy. They will be used for the Integrated Swimmer Detection Program managed by the Naval Underwater Warfare Center (NUWC) in Newport RI. Ordered in October 2009, the systems were delivered and commissioned within six weeks.

The latest deliveries are in addition to the multiple systems already delivered as part of the US Navy's Integrated Swimmer Defence Program. Sonardyne has now been working with the NUWC for over 2 years delivering underwater sonar detection and classification expertise as part of the integrated underwater defence system designed and developed by the engineering team at NAVSEA.


Commenting on the award, Jim Pollock, mission capability manager for the war on terror at NUWC said; "The additional Sentinel Systems will be integrated into the NAVSEA ISD system that is supporting acquisition of an enhanced, deployable ISD capability for the Maritime Expeditionary Security Forces (MESF)".


This award closely follows the first contract for a fixed, permanent Sentinel installation with a commercial port in the United States. The sonar will be integrated into the port's new command and control system that fully integrates data from sonar, cameras and radars to provide protection of shipping and port infrastructure from maritime threats.

Hydrographic Survey of Riverbed Erosion

Members of the US Geological Survey were filmed while out on the Missouri River at Williston, North Dakota, USA, performing a hydrographic survey to monitor the state of riverbed erosion. They were using a multibeam echo sounder which transmits sound energy and analyses the return signal (echo) that has bounced off the riverbed or other objects. Multibeam sonars emit sound waves from directly beneath a ship's hull to produce fan-shaped coverage of the riverbed. 


Gauge height at the Williston gauge was approximately 27.65 feet when this video was taken. Additional information about the USGS streamgauge at Williston is available at http://waterdata.usgs.gov/nd/nwis?program=nwisman&site_no=06330000
