New Case Study: “WINGHEAD F11 – Superior Performance Ultra High-Resolution Forward Looking Sonar” NORBIT introduced the WINGHEAD multibeam sonar platform to deliver unmatched acoustic performance and flexibility. The WINGHEAD F11 is an ultra-high-resolution forward-looking sonar that provides long-range images across a wide sector with exceptional range resolution. Its curved array receiver ensures both acoustic excellence and hydrodynamic efficiency. Ideal for the most demanding tasks on ROVs and unmanned vehicles, the WINGHEAD F11 sonar excels in search and recovery operations and underwater threat detection, where image quality is crucial. This case study presents the results of data collected in various places and in various ranges, Data was collected using NORBIT’s surface vessels or vessels of opportunity equipped with a standard NORBIT PORTUS pole mount and custom angle adjustable brackets. Various targets were chosen to highlight recognizable objects and features at different ranges.

HII has developed a maritime virtual testbed to simulate unmanned underwater vehicles and verify operational success early in the production life cycle. Join Ryan Capozzi and Matt Guenther, PE from our Unmanned Systems team at MODSIM World in the Fusion room tomorrow at 1:35 p.m. as Capozzi presents on our UUV digital twins and how they are exercised in a virtual world to inform design decisions, verify mission operations, train operators and much more.

This study proposes a #non-#coherent #over-#the-#air #computation scheme to calculate the #majority #vote (#MV) reliably in fading channels. The proposed approach relies on modulating the amplitude of the elements of complementary sequences based on the sign of the parameters to be aggregated. Since it does not use #channel #state #information at the nodes, it is compatible with time-varying channels. To demonstrate the efficacy of their method, the authors employ it in a scenario where an unmanned aerial vehicle is guided by distributed sensors, relying on the MV computed using their proposed scheme. ----Alphan Sahin, @Xiaofeng Wang More details can be found at this link: https://lnkd.in/gjDYbeNr

In this contribution, the authors propose an efficient radio frequency-based detection framework called #URANUS. They leverage real-time data provided by the Radio Frequency/Direction Finding system, and radars in order to detect, classify and identify #drones (multi-copter and fixed-wings) invading no-drone zones. They adopt a #Multilayer #Perceptron #neural #network to identify and classify UAVs in real-time, with 90% accuracy. For the tracking task, they use a Random Forest model to predict the position of a drone with an MSE ≈0.29, MAE ≈0.04, and R2≈0.93. Furthermore, coordinate regression is performed using Universal Transverse Mercator coordinates to ensure high accuracy. ---- Domenico Lofù, Pietro Di Gennaro, Pietro Tedeschi, Tommaso Di Noia, Eugenio Di Sciascio More details can be found at this link: https://lnkd.in/eTuKcf8n

How does Sentaero 5’s LTE connectivity propel BVLOS operations? #LTE connectivity significantly extends the operational range of Sentaero 5, breaking free from the previous limited range C2 links. With a reliable and high-speed connection, #Sentaero 5 can venture into remote and challenging terrains, perform inspections of critical infrastructure, and cover vast areas for surveillance purposes, all while maintaining a secure and stable link to the #operator. Sentaero 5 has proven the reliability of the Elsight - UAV & UAS Connection Confidence Halo by preforming a 30 mile stretch, out and back, simulating algae detection, 12 mile, out and back, weather station inspection and an intercostal mapping mission 3 miles away without the use of #VO’s. The horizon for BVLOS operations is expanding and so is the value. All the missions described reinforce you can save operational time and money leveraging the Sentaero 5, Cellular #C2 and BVLOS. Go Further. Go Smarter. Go #BVLOS.

Wonderful use of digital twins from HII. If you are at ModSimWorld, check this out! Takes special connectivity to use the real systems along with their digital twin counterparts! #DigitalTwin

Thank you to Unmanned Systems Technology for sharing what looked like a challenging yet very successful mission. The Tritech team are always delighted to see our Gemini 1200ik multibeam sonar on SEAMOR Marine Ltd.’s Chinook ROV. To find out more about this interesting mission please follow the links below. DroneQ Robotics deployed SEAMOR’s Chinook ROV to evaluate the condition of a historic railway bridge >> https://hubs.la/Q02MGvBy0 “This inspection was part of the expansion of Rotterdam’s metro system, specifically the Hoekse Lijn, which took over a 24-kilometer stretch of existing railway between Rotterdam and Hook of Holland.” Original Post - https://lnkd.in/eetMsqv4 About the Gemini 1200ik - https://lnkd.in/eQPn7-zj The Gemini 1200ik multibeam imaging sonar is a powerful addition to the popular Gemini range. The multibeam imaging sonar offers two operational frequencies with the ability to switch between low and high frequency dependant on the user’s requirement. The 720kHz low frequency setting is designed for target identification and obstacle avoidance at long range, whilst the 1200kHz high frequency setting offers extremely detailed multibeam images, ideal for inspection at close range. Switching frequencies can be set to automatically switch over at a specific range or done manually. #multibeamsonar #sonarproducts #future
