The multi-influence passive module for underwater environment monitoring

The threats to the operation of a ship close to the coast and harbor can be significantly different to those of deep-water operation. It is obvious that any operation in this environment requires a good understanding of how the ship’s signatures behave. Quite a few different systems exist which can detect and track underwater moving targets. The most practical systems use underwater passive detectors. Therefore we often install in such environment multi-sensor measuring device to verify the whole situation. Designed by the Polish Naval Academy mobile multi-sensor module serves such purpose. This module consists of acoustic, magnetic, electric, seismic and pressure sensors fitted to the nonmagnetic tripod. This makes possible to measure signatures to high degree of accuracy in a variety of environments in real time.
