"New Advances in Sonar Diver Detection Systems: The Hidden Threat Facing Military and Civilian Ports" is a new White Paper available online, a white paper outlining tech advances in sonar technologies and how they can protect military and civilian ports and visiting ships from enemy divers. The new white paper from Kongsberg outlines the hidden threat presented by underwater diver incursion, as evidenced by groups such as the Tamil “Sea” Tigers having been able to mount successful underwater attacks in ports. It also reviews the latest technological improvements in underwater acoustical diver detection systems in these key areas: hardware, tracking software and data fusion/systems integration.
