DroneShield Ltd (ASX:DRO) has unveiled a material capability upgrade to its multi-domain DroneSentry counterdrone threat awareness and response system.
SonarOne is a cutting edge sonar detection system for directional real time reporting of underwater threats. It is a sophisticated sonar monitoring device capable of detecting and tracking hostile unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs) or diver intruders in protected waters.
CEO, Oleg Vornik, said ideal for deployment around naval vessels, harbours, and critical infrastructure, SonarOne is easy to install and monitor via the DroneSentry-C2, DroneShield’s intuitive and easy to use operator interface, with no specialist sonar training required.
With the inclusion of SonarOne, the DroneSentry system provides a comprehensive all-domain awareness and protection system, including Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs), Unmanned Water Surface Vehicles (USVs), UUVs, and divers,” Mr Vornik said.
“As the original counterdrone market pioneer which set the industry standards since its inception, we are pleased to continue leading the counterdrone market by offering this breakthrough unique capability to our customers globally.”
He said thatwWith a substantial detection range for divers and UUVs, SonarOne can protect large sites with few installation points, reducing the amount of preparation required by the installer and the need for pre-existing infrastructure.
With its directional capability and simultaneous tracking of multiple targets, SonarOne provides the operator with complete awareness of multi-directional underwater robotic and manned swarm attacks.
The product is unrestricted in deployment, meaning it can be sold, and expected to be of interest, to a wide range of customers including ports, harbours, naval bases, private yachts, residences, power stations, and various offshore platforms.
