3D FLS Enabling The Future of Unmanned Defense Operations

Unmanned and autonomous systems are rapidly reshaping naval operations, making the move from experimental to essential. The next era of naval superiority will hinge on how effectively these platforms integrate within broader fleet operations, and on the sensor technologies that empower them to perceive, decide, and act independently across diverse maritime environments.

Integrating into 3rd Party Products: Using FarSounder's SDK

Recently, we've decided make the standard SDK for our navigation product available to 3rd party developers free of charge for non-commercial applications. This makes sense in today's information driven world, since here at FarSounder, we are in the business of selling sonars and providing ship operators with the best underwater situational awareness possible. We're not in the business of selling closed APIs. This opens up an exciting number of possibilities for people interested in integrating FarSounder’s forward looking sonar data into their products.
