L 3 Sonar Subeye

In general ships are solely equipped with sensors to observe the water surface and the sky above. Even high value ships like mega yachts and cruise liners are ‘blind’ to dangers lurking beneath the water surface. L-3 ELAC Nautik’s idea is to add new sensors to the ship equipment that support the detection of underwater threats and improves the safety and security on board.

General

The multipurpose sonar SUBEYE offers the best protection against any underwater threat. The system scans under water and detects approaching dangers up to a distance of 3,000 m, thus maximizing the vessel’s safety during navigation as well as while anchoring. By now SUBEYE has become the standard when it comes to self-protection equipment on big yachts. The system can be delivered in different confi gurations and can be modifi ed according to specifi c project requirements. SUBEYE completes the total spatial surveillance systems of ships with high safety requirements.

Navigation safety

SUBEYE makes it safer to go wherever you want. Even areas with inadequate nautical charts can be explored safely. With SUBEYE shallows, icebergs and other dangers become a predictable risk. With the forward looking cruise mode of the sonar system it is possible to detect objects in a distance of up to 3,000 m (10,000 feet), which signifi cantly minimizes the danger of a collision with obstacles like reefs. This range is about 10 times the performance of other sonar systems.
