How Can Unmanned and Autonomous Vessels Leverage 3D Forward Looking Sonar
The rise of uncrewed vessel operations demands technologies that prioritize both performance and environmental responsibility. Technologies like FarSounder’s Argos 3D FLS are not only extending the operational reach of USVs but are also helping shape a future where navigation is both smarter and more environmentally conscious.
Advantages of Forward Looking Sonar: Q&A with FarSounder
Jake Palmer, Relationship Manager at FarSounder discusses forward-looking sonar technology, emphasizing its ease of integration into autonomous vessels, the company’s commitment to environmentally friendly design, and emerging trends in the unmanned maritime sector.
FarSounder: Advancing ASV/USV Navigation Capabilities for Expanding Missions
Now that the utility of USVs, including their value as a force multiplier, has been demonstrated, the industry is ripe for widespread adoption of these vehicles in not only defense applications but also hydrographic survey, search and rescue, environmental monitoring, and (soon) cargo/passenger transport. As more applications come online, there is one key factor that must not be overlooked: What is underwater, ahead of the vessel, in real time?
Next Level Awareness for Next Level USVs
It is clear that the pace of development in Autonomous/Uncrewed Surface Vessel (ASV/USV) technologies and applications is steadily increasing. The confluence of greater at sea broadband connectivity, AI based vehicle control systems, and the limited pool of mariners coupled with the successes of uncrewed systems in the war in Ukraine has created an enormous opportunity for these platforms.
Unmanned Surface Vessels Growing Need For Underwater Obstacle Avoidance
As missions expand to long duration coastal monitoring, security patrols in austere ports, force projection into higher latitudes, ship-to-shore wayfinding, and high speed interdiction, consideration of underwater navigation hazards is becoming a priority for USV many operators.
