Sonar Range Prediction Software

to Aid Sonar Development

Our sonar range prediction tools:

Ocean Acoustic Developments Ltd (OAD) produces specialist software applications that enable the user to analyse the underwater environment on a Global basis to improve situational awareness. Our products, WADER and HARCAM, include all the required data sets for:

  • Sonar range prediction
  • Probability of detection
  • Underwater acoustic modelling
  • Propagation loss analysis
  • Ocean environment evaluation

Our software is designed, developed and produced in-house which enables us to provide an exceptional level of support. The embedded propagation loss models have been independently verified by the UK MoD.

With a range of applications and over 30 years’ experience, our sonar performance prediction systems have been used fleetwide by the UK Royal Navy since 1995. Our overseas customers include Governments and Scientists spanning the Globe.

‘WADER is mandated as the current acoustic model for us throughout the [UKRN] FLEET’
