Wavefront Systems - Model Sentinel IDS® -Intruder Detection Sonar System
The Sentinel IDS® is a sophisticated intruder detection sonar system widely utilized for the protection of critical infrastructure, military, commercial, and private assets globally. Its advanced capabilities include the detection, tracking, and classification of underwater threats such as divers and drones. The Sentinel 2, its latest iteration, integrates Simultaneous In-band Active and Passive Sonar (SInAPS®) technology, which enables efficient identification of threats up to 1500 meters away for mini-subs and up to 1000 meters for divers. Sentinel's intuitive interface allows for automatic threat detection, minimizing the need for specialized sonar training. The system can be configured for rapid or permanent deployment, suitable for both mobile and fixed installations. With features like Simultaneous Multiple Target Tracking (MTT) and low false alarm rates, Sentinel offers reliable security solutions. Its flexibility and modular design allow seamless integration with existing security systems, ensuring comprehensive surveillance for marine applications.Our latest generation Sentinel IDS® is capable of detecting, tracking and classifying underwater targets including divers and drones.
Sentinel IDS® is used globally to protect critical national infrastructure, ports and harbours, military operations and ports, private and commercial yachts, commercial vessels and waterside properties.
Sentinel automatically detects, classifies and tracks subsea threats approaching your protected area or asset, such as a diver, swimmer delivery vehicle or unmanned drone. Our latest generation IDS, Sentinel 2, adds advanced Simultaneous In-band Active and Passive Sonar capability (SInAPS®) to identify and protect, at ranges of up to 1500m for mini-subs and diver detection at up to 1000m.
Sentinel is an intuitive system that will automatically inform the end user of any potential threat without the need for any sonar-trained personnel.
Depending on your application, Sentinel can be supplied in either a portable and mobile package for rapid deployment where temporary underwater security is required or as a permanently installed system for continuous protection of a known asset or perimeter.
- Identifies and classifies threats up to 1500m from any waterside asset or structure
Wavefront’s unique SInAPS® technology combines the detection and tracking capabilities of active and passive sonar - Simultaneous Multiple Target Tracking (MTT)
- Super-Inheritance® to maintain single track across multiple sonar heads
- Target zoom allows improved target classification via high resolution, enhanced speed replay
- Historical tracking data for enhanced threat evaluation
- Response times reduced by rapidly elevating track alert levels using automated Active Passive Track Correlation (APTC)®
- Comprehensively updated Graphical Display Processor (GDP)
- Options for rapid overboard, permanent or floating deployment
- Simple integration into Command and Control (C2) systems for above and below water protection
Scalable
For very large sites, such as naval bases and container ports, Sentinel sonar heads can be networked together to provide uninterrupted protection. Integration with C2 systems is standard.
Low false alarms
Sentinel’s advanced algorithms intelligently and reliably discriminate a real threat from fauna and flora removing false alarms, freeing up Security personnel to monitor other critical systems.
Nowhere to hide
Sentinel uses advanced Simultaneous In-band Active and Passive Sonar capability (SInAPS®) to identify and protect, at ranges of up to 1500m for mini-subs and diver detection at 1000m.
