CASE: Sonar training refresher fire dept. Bunschoten Spakenburg

Sonar training

Sonar training

Sonar training was provided this week in Bunschoten Spakenburg. The fire department there uses sonar for search and recovery of missing persons or persons who have gotten into trouble on the water. Sonar provided a perfect addition to their dive team which is on standby 24/7. Sonar is exceptionally suited for the Eemmeer, a lake on which Bunschoten Spakenburg is located.

Providing sonar training to both governmental agencies and the industry. This way operators have the knowledge needed to optimize the use of their sonar system. These sonar systems are often ranged from of the shelf fish finders to high tech forward looking sonars

Active sonar is a type of sonar that works by emitting a sound pulse and measuring the time it takes for the sound to bounce back from an object. It is commonly used by ships, submarines, and underwater remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) to navigate, communicate, and detect objects in the water. Active sonar is useful for detecting objects that are relatively close to the source of the sound, and it can also be used to map the ocean floor and as part of obstacle avoidance. It is an important tool for navigation and communication in the underwater environment and is used in a variety of applications, including military, commercial, and scientific research.

In Bunschoten Spakenburg they use the hummingbird helix 12
