WASSP has launched a Key Pulse and Interference management system including an automated frequency and bandwidth algorithm.
By changing the frequency and bandwidth to a location in the frequency domain that is not in use by any other system at that moment in time, acoustic interference from interoperating acoustic equipment is prevented in WASSP’s sonar system and in other acoustic equipment onboard a vessel.
“Our Key Pulse and Interference management system is set to transform the operating environment for fishing and workboats using any sonar system,” explained Rufus Whiteford, WASSP’s global marketing manager.
More efficient
By taking the standard KP and adding to it, WASSP says the software enables all sounder and sonar systems, regardless of manufacturer, to operate significantly more efficiently.
Underwater environments are often noisy due to other acoustic devices operating in the same local body of water. Noise levels or interference caused by interoperating acoustic equipment vary widely depending on the operating parameters of the equipment and the water column. This noise interferes with accurate underwater detection and makes it difficult, both for the sonar device and for the user, to interpret an underwater environment.
WASSP said its technology is an alternative to the common interference solution of increasing the power output, which exacerbates the problem overall.
