The icListen AF is a revolutionary smart digital hydrophone that enables real-time processing, streaming, and recording of acoustic data without the need for additional pre-amps, filters, converters, or datalinks. The compact self-contained unit is fully calibrated and offers the ideal combination of performance and sensitivity, providing critical situational awareness for enhanced decision-making during naval and underwater operations. Settings can be easily adjusted via a web browser interface.
The hydrophone is small and lightweight enough to carry in one hand, and features ultra-low noise and a wide dynamic range for high-quality data and long-term stability, as well as 1 TB of internal storage. Multiple units can be synchronized to create a simplified and convenient multi-channel array.
The proven solution has been integrated with multiple globally-recognized ASV and UUV platforms, and is ideal for a wide range of defense and security applications, including:
- Identification and analysis of potential threats such as enemy vessels, submersible vehicles, and divers
- Creation of acoustic ranges for evaluating the signatures of navy vessels and submarines and ensuring minimal noise emissions
- Locating pingers during search and rescue operations or retrieval of assets such as ROVs & AUVs
- Identifying the presence of marine wildlife during defense exercises
