Wave Glider (WG) HLD-WG16 Acoustic System-Highlander

Product Overview

The Wave Glider (WG) HLD-WG16 acoustic system is installed on the wave glider. It is an intelligent unmanned system that autonomously performs marine environmental observation and detection of targets of interest. The main features of the system are as follows:

Main Performance

Direction-finding performance: target direction-finding performance (3 dB beam width @500 Hz): ≤10°

Detection performance: typical detection range (sea state 3 and below)
≥0.3 km@95 dB@1 kHz;
≥1.0 km@105 dB@1 kHz;
≥3.0 km@115 dB@1 kHz;

Self-noise: ≤40 dB@1 kHz;

Detection frequency: covers 10 Hz–50 kHz

Data storage: 5 TB

Sampling quantization accuracy: 24 bit

Normal sampling rate: 128 kHz (number of array elements: 16)

Maximum sampling rate: 400 kHz (number of array elements: 8)

Product Features

Complete Functionality

Marine environmental noise observation,Target detection,Target tracking,Feature extraction,Target recognition

Motion Feature Fusion

Deeply integrates the wave glider's motion characteristics to effectively analyze the target's own features.

Interactive Detection

Satellite communication provides real-time feedback of reconnaissance results, and the shore control center can adjust payload tasks according to its decisions.

Cluster Networking

Multiple wave gliders can be networked for cooperative operations, enabling regional detection and surveillance of targets.

AI-Enabled

Adopts advanced artificial intelligence technology to transmit processing results back in real time; Fusion technology extracts the combined characteristics of the target's main very-low-frequency noise sources, delivering high recognition accuracy.

Low Power Consumption

Low power consumption: ≤20 W at full load, average power below 10 W, supporting 24-hour all-weather on-duty operation; Compatible with the wave glider's solar power supply, meeting long-duration operation needs of no less than 6 months.
