How it works

  • Surface Buoy: Maintains floatation and houses electronics, comms (satellite, GSM), power sources like batteries and solar.
  • Mooring Line: A cable connects the buoy to the hydrophone, often designed to isolate it from surface noise.
  • Hydrophone & Electronics Pod: Located at target depth (e.g. in deep sound channel); includes sensors, storage, and pre‑amps.
  • Anchor/Locator: Keeps the assembly stable; often includes a recovery mechanism triggered for retrieval.

    • Use Cases

    • Marine biology: whale songs, fish choruses, habitat monitoring.
    • Oceanography & seismology: earthquakes, landslides, sound speed profiling.
    • Defense & security: submarine surveillance, acoustic source localization.
    • Environmental & industrial monitoring: noise pollution, pipeline leak detection.
