FarSounder, Inc. is a Warwick, Rhode Island based technology company bringing to market a breakthrough in marine navigation. FarSounder's technology delivers critical information by giving mariners the ability to "see-ahead," underwater, in true 3-D: with simultaneous range, bearing and depth information.
FarSounder, Inc. was incorporated in 2001 to bring this new technology to market. FarSounder's technology now makes it possible to image rocks, sea floors, whales and other in-water obstacles similar to the way that radar detects obstacles above water. The company is now selling its FS3 and FS3-DT forward looking sonar products.
This technology has the potential to avert billions of dollars in damages attributable to marine groundings. It also can serve as an enormously positive environmental force by detecting and thus protecting the endangered Right Whale from fatal collisions with large vessels. Although forward-looking sonars exist in various forms, other technologies have very limited range in shallow water. This is precisely when the vessel's captain is in the greatest need of an accurate, real-time picture of the obstacles and water depths ahead of the vessel.
