The harbor monitoring network system uses various types of sensors installed both on land and underwater to detect, track, and monitor small suspicious ships and divers (including those with underwater scooters) who trespasses upon important facilities along the Japanese coastline.

The system uses radar and ITV (Industrial television) to detect and track small suspicious ships that travel by sea, and is also equipped with a hypersensitive camera and an infrared camera to allow monitoring at night and in other poorly lit environments, regardless of the time of day. The ITV, hypersensitive camera, and infrared camera automatically search the target area in response to information about suspicious objects detected by radar. The system also uses multiple sensors installed on the ocean oor to detect and track divers invading underwater and small suspicious submersibles that cannot be detected by radar. Like the radar information, information about suspicious objects is sent to the ITV, hypersensitive camera, and infrared camera, which automatically search the target area to capture images of divers or submersibles when they surface. Information obtained by this system can be sent to related organizations, surveillance ships defending the periphery, other surveillance vehicles, and defense personnel via various types of networks such as wireless LANs.
     
Underwater and surface invasions can be detected early regardless of the weather or time of day. Monitoring by using a combination of sensors improves the detection performance and reduces false alarms.

The oceanic sensor system allows end-users to deploy fixed or inserted sensors under the sea and build a network to obtain high-density information about the ocean over a long period of time and in a wide area, without concern for the weather. This information is provided in real time, 24 hours a day.

Features of the oceanic sensor network:
» You can replace sensors and customize software to build various types of surveillance and monitoring systems.
» The oceanic sensor network is exible, allowing you to build a system that suits your purposes and usage environment, regardless of scale.
» The network offers high maintainability and expandability, so that even after you start using it, it can be expanded or reduced, and sensors can be added, modied, or replaced.
