Navigating ice waters, it’s interesting to know the thickness of the ice. It’s also very interesting to know small icebergs, boulders, as they don’t show up on the radar. Is those issues addressed ? And how is it represented to the navigator ?
Thank you for your question! Our current products do not detect the ice thickness, but that is an interesting idea💡🤔! Many vessels have chosen our products to aid navigation in polar regions as they detect icebergs and other uncharted hazards that are present in the water column but are not a large enough target above the surface for the radar to detect. Hazards are represented as "In-water targets" - at 19:15 you can see some bridge pilings detected in the left screencast, this is how "in-water targets" are displayed. We would be happy to learn more about your specific application, please reach out to sales@farsounder.com for more information. Again, thank you for the excellent questions!
Great presentation Matt, it provides a great overview of your Farsounder technology!
Thank you!
