Sonar systems for underwater intruder detection, imaging & navigation
Sentinel IDS®
The world’s most deployed Intruder Detection Sonar
Close the gap in your situational awareness by specifying the world’s most widely deployed underwater intruder and diver detection sonar, Sentinel, to help safeguard your vessels, oil platforms, waterside facilities and national infrastructure.
Vigilant FLS®
Explore with confidence
Is your cruise ship, research vessel, private yacht, survey vessel, naval vessel or uncrewed surface vessel venturing into unchartered waters? Vigilant is a family of forward looking sonars which transforms your vessel’s underwater situational awareness, alerting you to hidden threats.
Solstice MAS®
Dependable high quality imagery
Capture every feature and every detail in ultra-high resolution. The Solstice family of multi-aperture side-scan sonars significantly increases the operational envelope of your underwater vehicle by providing wide swath coverage, at high resolution – all while consuming very low power.
Sentry IMS
Capable of monitoring over one billion cubic feet of seawater
Our Sentry integrity monitoring sonar system has been developed to automatically warn of integrity breaches around subsea oil and gas assets, CCS sites and offshore green hydrogen infrastructure. The system is capable of monitoring more than one billion cubic feet of seawater, with 360° of coverage from a single sonar sensor location.
Wavefront was founded in 2004 with a mission to apply engineering excellence to the problems of underwater intruder detection, imaging and navigation. Wavefront works with its customers to make the underwater world visible – protecting Critical National Infrastructure (CNI), preventing maritime collisions, monitoring the integrity of undersea assets and exploring our under-water world with stunning high-resolution imagery.
