Direct access to the author and quality control team for expert support in case of any questions or difficulties. User feedback is actively encouraged to help inform future upgrades.
2
WADER is regularly upgraded to include new features and capabilities, often influenced by user requirements and inevitable technological changes; the AUP keeps customers up-to-date with these innovations.
3
The databases contained within WADER are created by world-leading institutions and upgraded regularly. The AUP includes these database upgrades as part of the plan as and when new databases become available.

Please click on the below images to learn more about a few of the key updates.
- Batch Mode - allows users to save (and re-load) a batch of sonar parameters which can be run automatically for an environment.
- Custom Contours & Coastline - add up to three contour lines at user-defined depths, using user-defined colours. Additional options allow for the chart area above/below the contour line to be coloured with a semi-transparent layer.
- Range Rings – Blobby Radials on the Main Screen can be plotted against a user-defined range ring overlay.
- Customisable Climat Panel - the data fields in the Climat panel have been grouped into sections, each of which can be hidden if not required.
- Main Screen Resize - the WADER Main Screen can now be re-sized by dragging the edges to any aspect ratio.
- Save User Setting in Options / Revert to Defaults - the user can now save and re-load their settings. This upgrade can be used to save individual user preferences or create a standard settings file for briefings etc.
- Plus many more features and upgrades - general graphics, usability and performance improvements.
Batch Mode
WADER has been designed to conduct deep analysis of individual sensors, however there are times when it is helpful to compare the performance of multiple sensors within an environment, or different configurations of a single sensor.
Batch Mode has been developed to assist in this type of analysis by enabling users to pre-define a list of sensors and/or metrics. Once created, the user can use Batch Mode to process each sensor configuration for the environment and then toggle through the results to compare probabilities of detection.
Batch Mode
Custom Contours
Users can highlight up to three contour depth lines, specifying the depth and colour of each. Areas shallower and/or deep than the contour can be flood-filled.

Range Rings
In addition to the legacy range read out options, users can now display range rings at major (and minor) intervals to help assess probability of detection ranges.
