SONAR & BLOWN FIBER DISTRIBUTION
PORT FREEPORT SONAR DEPLOYMENT PROJECT
Mr. Mitchell and his team at Aperio Engineering as Prime Consultant, have designed a sonar security system for Port Freeport to include three primary objectives to increase waterside Marine Domain Awareness. First, a fixed sonar deployment will provide continuous, unattended monitoring of the Port’s harbor basin with automatic detection, tracking, and classification of underwater anomalies, such as swimmers with improvised explosive devises (IEDs) and submarine ROVs. The second objective provides a stable, high peed onnection to PCC located servers and the monitoring network by installing a fiber optic backbone utilizing FutureFlex air blown fiber. This is a relatively new optical-fiber cabling system which provides an opportunity for cost effective future network expansion as Port Freeport grows and its telecommunications needs change. This network will include an infrastructure to support security, video, and operations,while offering long-term reliability. The third objective is a portable sonar system which includes a boat mounted long range imaging sonar to scan wide areas for targets and provide specific location of anomalies in question, along with a Remotely Operated Vehicle with onboard sonar and video to search, locate and inspect potentially dangerous targets. This project, valued at $1.4MM is currently in construction. Aperio Engineering is also providing Resident Project Representative services to help facilitate successful completion of this project.
