Pre-Mission
Operational SRP
With Fleet asset numbers reducing, it is more important than ever that Forces fully exploit every asset at their disposal. WADER can help the Command establish where to deploy their sonar capabilities to maximum effect.
WADER is designed with a Graphic User Interface (GUI) to simplify and expedite the Sonar Range Prediction (SRP) process and to help enhance situational awareness.
Measured profile data for the operational environment can be uploaded to enhance the accuracy of calculations.
Post operational analysis is a vital process for maintaining and improving future operational performance. WADER is provided as a stand-alone system, enabling users to both review a scenario at their convenience (i.e. not when equipment schedules allow) and save/export data in multiple formats for external review.

Research
Education & Training
The flexibility of data inputs available in WADER and HARCAM make them useful tools for oceanographic research. Both programs have been used successfully for Environmental Impact Assessment and postgraduate courses in underwater acoustics.
WADER’s propagation loss models can be used to calculate the effects of noise sources as a result of man-made activities and have been used successfully for Environmental Impact Assessment work. PTS & TTS values can be incorporated for simple geographical visualisation.
The capabilities of WADER used in classrooms are identical to WADER licences used operationally. This allows crews to practice vital skills using realistic scenarios in a safe environment to help maintain operational superiority when at sea. WADER is a formidable tool for training at all levels, in both academic and military training units.
EIA
Mine Hunting
Diver Detection
When searching an area for sea mines, knowing the range of your sonars is essential. WADER’s dedicated HF propagation loss algorithms can model sonar performance at these frequencies. Where sonar coverage is limited, the software can be used to help decide how assets should be re-deployed to fulfil the objectives.
The propagation loss modelling tools in WADER & HARCAM function at a range of frequencies, including those used by fish-finder sonar. The sonar can help locate shoals of fish for optimum net deployment.
Strategic areas are often covered by diver detection sonar systems to guard against intruders. WADER can help ensure the coverage of such systems, assist in calculating where to position these assets for maximum effect and aid in the development of new systems.
