GuardPoint 70

Underwater sensing technology for defense and security.


GuardPoint 70 Sonarhead product picture

A powerful surveillance tool effective in detecting underwater intruders.
Guardpoint can recognize Open-Circuit and Close-Circuit Divers, Diver and
Swimmer Delivery Vehicles (DDV and SDV) and Submersibles.

GuardPoint is designed to detect difficult targets in the toughest
environments, while remaining an easy to use system for professionals
as well as non-sonar operators. Multiple sonar heads can be networked
together to achieve maximum coverage. GuardPoint automatically detects,
tracks, classifies and alerts to the presence of underwater intruders.

GuardPoint™ 70 is complemented by the GuardPoint Intruder Tracking Software, designed to be powerful yet easy to use, even for inexperienced sonar operators. It automatically detects and classifies closed and open circuit divers, while minimising false alarms for biologicals and wakes caused by boats. Furthermore, GuardPoint Intruder Tracking Software tracks multiple divers simultaneously, features data recording and replay, and offers integration with third-party command and control systems, along with an interface to underwater loudhailers.

NORTrace Software can be used to optimize the system performance or to predict performance changes in different weather conditions.

All NORBIT sonars can be offered with ClearSignal ® anti fouling protection, specifically developed to protect while maximizing sound performance.
