Saildrone Unveils New Acoustic Capabilities to Protect Marine Mammals

species monitoring and mitigation compliance services, to create a monitoring network using cutting-edge acoustic technology, autonomous vehicles, and machine learning to detect, classify, and localize marine mammals.Two Saildrone uncrewed surface vehicles (USVs) equipped with proprietary underwater acoustic systems were deployed off the coast of Massachusetts to listen for North Atlantic right whales and other marine mammals. The virtually silent saildrones were stationed in an area where several species of whales are known to be present. During the two-week deployment, the saildrones recorded numerous

MTR100: INNOMAR Technologie

INNOMAR Technologie GmbH has been in the business of developing and manufacturing efficient underwater acoustic systems for about 20 years. Having sold some 300 sold systems, INNOMAR claims a place as a market leader in parametric sub-bottom profilers. INNOMAR mainly develops and manufactures high-resolution parametric sub-bottom profilers. This technology provides sub-bottom data at excellent vertical and horizontal resolution for various applications like geological surveys, burial-of-depth surveys for buried pipelines or cables or UXO surveys at offshore construction sites. The company’s

structures for dredging and geological surveys as well as searching embedded objects like cables, pipelines or archaeological artefacts. All data can be stored in industry standard formats. Optimized and user-friendly online and post-processing software is available. Innomar also develops underwater acoustic systems, electronics and software on customer’s request. Renting of equipment is possible, too. Parametric acoustics provides narrow sound beams and wide acoustic band width as pre-requisite to achieve high-resolution results. It has more than 280 parametric sub-bottom profilers sold worldwide

Program of the European Commission, and has constituted the flagship of R&D in the maritime security segment. In the Project’s term, ended in June 2015, CMRE scientists and engineers worked to design, develop and demonstrate at sea concepts of continuous, real-time passive underwater acoustic systems for maritime surveillance. The objectives have been successfully met by using innovative solutions integrated on board unmanned mobile platforms, i.e. both on an underwater glider (an autonomous underwater vehicle which uses shifts in mass to steer and changes in buoyancy to dive and surface)
