HULL and BERTH SWEEPS
DIDSON is used on AUVs, ROVs, and held by divers to search hulls and berthing areas. The diver-held version has a mask-mounted display with SVGA resolution. The DIDSON images allow one to inspect hulls and berthing areas for damage, fouling, contraband, and improvised explosive devices in turbid water. Without this technology divers would resort to a search by tactile examination. Divers like the fact that they can identify objects from a stand-off distance that provides greater safety.
