Maritime Security:
Underwater Asset Protection
Sentinel
The World’s most widely deployed intruder detection sonar (IDS).
Protecting your underwater assets
Sentinel utilises an automatic AI algorithm to detect and track all potential targets within the sonar range. Users will be alerted to any threat to the facility or asset through Sentinel’s UI, allowing decisions of countermeasures to be assessed and actioned. In ideal conditions, Sentinel’s range of capability is up to 900m for diver detection and 1200m for mini-sub threats. For more extensive perimeter protection, multiple sonars can be installed, providing a complete sonar security barrier.

Delivering permanent or temporary asset protection
Suit the security demands of each project
Sentinel’s architecture is configured to suit the security demands of each project. With fast-deployment expeditionary architecture, Sentinel can be supplied for permanent, long-term deployment or for short-term use. In addition, we offer rental options for customers looking to protect assets on a one-off basis.
Designed to suit your individual security needs
Each installation is different, even for returning clients. Sentinel works as a modular sonar system to allow it to be adapted to your security requirements. From a single sonar to a multi-sonar, Sentinel is installed to suit your asset perimeter.
Deployment options vary. It works on seabed column mounts for permanent coastal installations, rail and trollies for harbour walls and tripod stands for expeditionary vessels. It can be used as a deployment machine, over the side, through-tube or through the hull of vessels. Whether you have an existing security system or require a standalone solution, Sentinel Intruder Detection Sonar will meet your requirements.
We offer a site survey service to ensure the product scope will conform to your asset security team requirements and local environmental conditions.
