FarSounder Inc provides underwater vision technologies, from advanced long-range 3D Forward Looking Sonars to underwater Diver Detection, which is suitable for both surface and sub-surface vessels and along waterside perimeters. FarSounder challenges the boundaries of sonar technology to provide vessel operators with a practical addition to navigation safety. These critical readings are required for obstacle avoidance, range, bearing, and depth. The firms 3D Forward Looking Sonars offer benefits to safe navigation as well as for underwater security. FarSounder offers users 3D forward-looking navigation information out to 1/2 nautical mile ahead of the vessel. In addition, the FarSounder Ship Protection System is a unique multi-sensor solution, with 360º coverage, using fixed in-hull sensors. This multi-use system provides underwater threat detection while at anchor and navigation sonar while underway. The system is based on sonar technology, which produces a complete 3D image with a single ping. The display offers electronic overlays and can differentiate between divers, marine mammals and other benign objects, with minimal false alarms.
