Type A ™

Your detection partner for small to large displacement objects across the frequency range

Type A advanced passive hydrophone

Type A is an advanced passive hydrophone with the capability to detect underwater threats across the frequency range (1Hz to 100kHz). Its state-of-the-art PZT materials composition along with its self-hardened polyester covering allows for high degrees of sensitivity along with mass deployment scalability dynamics.

​Balancing sensitivity, the uncertainty of measurement, and frequency dependence at a scalable level

The current state-of-the-art hydrophone technologies face a pressing trade-off on how to balance the degrees of sensitivity and uncertainty of measurement, all at a cost that could enable mass deployment opportunities.
