During a very successful DSEi (Defence & Security Equipment International) exhibition the 13-16 September 2011, RESON was featured as exhibitor in the hall area and as a supplier of underwater acoustic solutions demonstrating equipment in the adjoining dockside. Surrounded by water, Excel Exhibition centre in London, is an ideal setting for a live boat demo. RESON showcased a live demonstration of a diver detection solution with SeaBat 7128 as the turn-key system for diver detection. The meeting between RESON and Admiral Sir Mark Stanhope, First Sea Lord and Chief of the Naval Staff, was with a common interest for securing harbor and coastal assets as well as mobile force protection.
A great interest in RESON and the SeaBat range of multibeam sonars, coming from customers, prospects and other suppliers in the industry, has made the four day exhibition at DSEi very busy and a great success for John Fraser and his RESON colleagues.
Combined with RESON PDS2000 ADT software the SeaBat 7128 proved the highest resolution imagery of both the harbor quay walls and seabed surface. As a forward looking multibeam sonar, It is well suited to shallow-water imaging applications, and is also available in versions pressure rated up to 6,000m water depth. The SeaBat 7128 generates high resolution images using either 200kHz for long range detection or 400kHz for shorter range identification – a power combination for a wide range of Naval applications. The SeaBat 7128 is equally at home in civilian applications in the offshore industry where applications include monitoring of underwater intervention from ROV platforms.
