Over the years, we have had many anecdotal reports from vessel captains about how our sonar technology had enabled their vessels to avoid collisions with whales. Our team has been out on the water to gather engineering data to support these reports. It has been going great! Thank you OnboardOnline for publishing a story featuring our efforts. https://lnkd.in/eaQMKpSc #Whales hashtag #safetyatsea hashtag #3Dsonar hashtag #navigation hashtag #oceantech

3D Forward Looking Sonar in real-time. Making true world exploration possible.
About us
FarSounder products keep you and your vessel safe. We came together in 2001 because we believed that there should be a simple tool that could show you where on the water it is safe to navigate. Since then, our sonar systems have been used around the world, and our philosophy hasn’t changed - your vessel is more than just a way to get from A to B. It empowers you to enjoy the things that you are passionate about, to explore new places, and to share that thrill of exploration with the ones you love. And it’s because of you and that sense of adventure, that we care so much about what we do. Wherever you decide to travel, FarSounder will help get you there safely. We are now the globally recognized experts in 3D FLS technology. By reducing the likelihood of collisions and underwater security threats, our sonar systems help prevent costly damages to property, the environment, and marine and human lives alike. In addition to navigation and obstacle avoidance, our work has expanded into such areas as shipboard and portside security, marine mammal protection, fisheries and ocean sustainability, and real time surveying. From our early development years and our first international innovation award in 2005, to our more recent internationally recognized U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) Tibbetts Award for Innovation and Commercialization, we continue to innovate and bring new products to the marine industry.

Enhancing navigational capabilities for uncrewed surface vessels (USVs). Link in the comments section below. ⬇ Thank you gCaptain for exploring FarSounder's work in the emerging ASV/USV market. Many ASV/USV platforms rely on above water sensors when navigating well charted waters. Applying Forward Looking Sonars to these platforms increases situational awareness, collection of bathymetric data, and the ability to better perform tasks in uncharted waters. Jacob Palmer from FarSounder will be attending The WorkBoat Show November 12-14. If you'd like to learn more about Forward Looking Sonars for ASV/USVs, make sure you connect with him or reach out to [email protected] to schedule a conversation. #USV #uncrewedsurfacevessel #ASV #AI #marineindustry #innovation #3Dsonar #marinenavigation #oceanmapping #safetyatsea #oceantech #forwardlookingsonar #workboat #workboatshow #iwbs2024 #iwbs

Historical data collected by Argos sonars provides valuable insight for individual users and others across the marine industry. Here is an excerpt from FarSounder's CEO and Co-Founder Matthew Zimmerman's presentation at SMM Hamburg. He talks about our Data Sharing Program and how bathymetry data collected by our customers enabled Canada's Hydrographic Service to update their coastal charts with accurate information. #3Dsonar #marinenavigation #datasharing #bathymetry #crowdsource #data #innovation #oceanmapping #oceansurvey #safetyatsea #marineindustry #oceantech

We’re proud to announce that FarSounder was recognized at the International Superyacht Society’s Design and Leadership Awards Gala as the recipiant for their Technology Award! “FarSounder’s technology is unique and why it’s deserving of this award. In particular, FarSounder’s innovative contribution to seafloor mapping through crowd-sourcing helps improve safety at sea by assisting in vessel routing and preventing groundings. This valuable data, fed into the International Hydrographic Organization’s (IHO) Data Center, hosted by NOAA, benefits not just yachts, but all mariners.”
