Kongsberg Maritime has successfully installed an integrated Diver Detection System in the United Arab Emirates.
The system was installed in partnership with the UK Security firm, Westminster International. The location, a High Value Sea-Side resort, remains classified.
The SM 2000 Underwater Surveillance System is manufactured by Kongsberg Mesotech Ltd, Port Coquitlam, British Columbia, Canada. The system is designed to track and process underwater threats in order to provide alarms for operators to act on. The system uses Sonar to detect and differentiate between divers and other targets such as marine life and debris.
"In partnership with Westminster, using our SM2000 Sonar and their Enforcer Underwater Acoustic Marine Defense System, we were able to detect, alert and if needed force divers to the surface at ranges in excess of 1000 meters", says Eric Levitt, Project Manager Underwater Security.
