Hydrophones
The icListen range of smart digital hydrophones 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 units are fully calibrated and offer the ideal combination of performance and sensitivity, providing critical situational awareness for enhanced decision-making during naval and underwater operations.
Software
Lucy II is an advanced acoustic processing software package designed for use with arrays of icListen hydrophones. The Windows-based software allows users to locate and set up one or more hydrophones, and stream, record, and analyze data.
Marco software is used to locate and check the status of all icListen hydrophones on the network. It can be used on any laptop or PC to launch the built-in web server on icListens or other instruments. The software is included with all icListen purchases.
Talk Assistant software program is used to set up our icTalk HF Smart Projector. Users can configure a variety of sound patterns such as clicks, tones and sweeps. The software is included with all icTalk purchases.
The PAMGuard Plug-In allows icListen hydrophones to be used with the industry-standard PAMGuard bioacoustics analysis software. With this plug-in, icListen units can stream data in real time for detection and measurement of marine mammal sounds during defense exercises.
Deployment Kits

icListen Listening Kit
The icListen Listening Kit provides everything you need to get up and running with deployment of icListen hydrophones for shallow and deep-water recording, providing accurate and reliable acoustic data. The kit includes an icListen hydrophone, a Launch Box, cable, guard, and Lucy II processing software.
The Acoustic Buoy Listening Kit is a complete solution for easy monitoring of radiated noise and marine mammal noise, ensuring enhanced underwater situational awareness. The kit includes an icListen hydrophone, an acoustic buoy, cable, in-line hydrophone guard, and Lucy II processing software.
Fyrefin Tow Body Kit

The Fyrefin is a tow body that allows users to isolate the hydrophone recording from ambient noise made by the towing vessel, resulting in cleaner and more accurate data. This kit includes an icListen hydrophone, the Fyrefin, a Launch Box, cable and grips, guard, and Lucy II processing software.
The Shallow Water Tripod Kit allows easy and convenient deployment of an autonomous hydrophone array, ensuring high-accuracy sound localization, tracking, and detection. Hydrophone separation can be adjusted up to one meter. The kit includes four icListen hydrophones, the tripod, a battery pack, cable and guards, and Lucy II processing software.
