Application Of Collision Avoidance Sonar Technology On Luxury Yachts

Collision avoidance sonar technology is also commonly referred to as forward-looking sonar technology. This technology can understand the distribution of underwater reefs and shoals in the area ahead of driving yachts at high speed, and provide good early warning reports for emergencies.

The working principle of collision avoidance sonar is the same as that of the current detection equipment used on ordinary ships and boats. The detection sonar signal is sent through the sound wave source, and then the echo signal is collected through the solar collector. According to the time difference To calculate the distance between the reflector and the yacht hull, so as to achieve the effect of measuring and avoiding a collision.

A common feature of the general waterborne sonar is that the source and the projectile of the sonar are basically in the vertical direction. In this case, the calculated distance between the source and the reflection source can only be the bottom of the ship The distance from the bottom. This effect is completely insufficient for luxury yachts traveling at high speed, because during the rapid travel of luxury yachts, what is needed is to understand the underwater conditions in the area ahead of the yacht travel, and give early warning of abnormal conditions in advance Only in this way can collisions be avoided.

The current collision avoidance sonar technology can solve the above problems very well. The array of transducers of collision avoidance sonar can transmit sonar signals in different directions in front of the ship, and collect and calculate the water in the water area. Objects that pose a threat to ships can also reflect this abnormal information on the screen in real-time. According to reliable data, the maximum range of this sonar is a fan-shaped area of 180 degrees in front of the ship and a radius of 120 feet, as long as During the scanning process, there will be a shoal or a reef, the device will automatically sound an alarm, and the yacht driver can prepare for emergency treatment in advance.
