Sound MetricsSee What Others Can't

Lake Forest Park, Washington - Sound Metrics Corp., the leading provider of diver-held sonar systems, has received an order from Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF) for 17 DIDSON Diver-Held Systems.  In their search for disaster victims immediately following the earthquake and tsunami that hit Japan in March, JMSDF, state and local agencies routinely deployed equipment loaned to them by Sound Metrics. While JMSDF had access to many new technologies for their search and recovery operations, it was the DIDSON’s ease of use and near video-like imagery that led JMSDF to order 17 units that will be placed with agencies at ports around the country.

After a year that saw massive underwater projects like the capping of the Gulf Coast oil spill and the continued development of offshore energy solutions, it’s not surprising that demand for imaging sonars has reached an all-time high. Even more surprising are the new applications other industries are finding for these tools.
