New Vortex Sonar Sensor Simulation for
Subsea Operations Training

VxSonar Waterfall Display For projects ranging from the ocean surface to the ocean floor and everything in between, VxSonar provides developers with the ideal solution for deploying real-time sonar visual simulation for defence, security, commercial, and research purposes.

Since safe navigation and precise detection are crucial in all marine realms, VxSonar adds an important dimension to training projects that deploy mine detectors, submarines, search and rescue/recovery ships, subsea ROVs, and other vessels.

VxSonar PPI DisplayVxSonar’s physics-based realism – with accurate object detection, identification and detailed seabed scanning – ensures high-fidelity 3D sonar visual simulation that fast-tracks skills acquisition and improves outcomes for procedure training, operations rehearsal, and other purposes.
And since many naval and other sonar-critical operations are moving from the deep sea into the littoral zone, VxSonar is the obvious choice for comprehensive simulations that require state-of-the-art technology for sonar skills development, interpretation and quick decision-making in challenging inshore conditions.

Highlights include:

* Two multifeatured sonar systems: Sidescan sonar, which captures wide areas of the seafloor through a cascading waterfall display; and active single-beam scanning sonar with rotating transducer array, displayed on a Plan Position Indicator (PPI)
* Rich feature set: Multiple options such as range and lateral scan spread, noise factors, number of rays cast, field of view, scanning speed, and material reflectivity properties
* Substantial training benefits: Highly realistic sonar operation, accurate image visualization, and data-capture capabilities help prepare trainers, mission planners and operators for a full range of sonar scenarios
