- AN/WQX-2
The AN/WQX-2 is a diver-detector
sonar used in anti-frogman precautions. TheUS Navy uses it. It usesKongsberg Mesotech components. It can detect divers up to 2400 feet (= nearly half amile ) away.The AN/WQX-2 finds range and bearing of the detected target relative to the sonar. The C3D console developed by [http://enterprise.spawar.navy.mil/ SPAWAR] converts this to a
GPS position. It has software to distinguish diver echoes from shoals of fish, marine mammals, debris, bubbles from boat wakes, etc.ee also
