Maritime Infrastructure Protection Systems

OBR CTM S.A. has developed a unique in the world, first system to monitor under and above water situation in areas of critical maritime infrastructure - KRYL Mk3. It is the integrated, multi sensor system dedicated for monitoring marine, river and lake borders, critical sea structures and infrastructure. The system utilizes a unique sensors configuration complemented by external information sources. The solution is based on a combination of passive magnetic and active acoustics barriers and chosen, complementary sensors as cameras, infrared cameras, radars, passive acoustic antennas, sonars, etc.

The exceptional performance of KRYL system is due to use of: Diver Detection Sonar, Monostatic Acoustic Barrier and unique Magnetic Barrier sensors technology. The chain of magnetic sensors detects any object that contains ferromagnetic materials. Special construction let us install it at the bottom under the water, sink into a mud or ground.

The system efficiently detects and traces surface, underwater and land objects by receiving signals from complementary sensors. All indicated objects are verified and analyzed (automated or manual mode are available) to avoid “false alarms” problem (FAP). Additional information from other systems e.g. AIS or VTS systems may be utilized to keep the probability of FAP on the lowermost level. In a “stand by” mode the system is fully passive. Active sensors are switched on when alarm is generated by the “quiet” magnetic sensor. This makes our solution undetectable, in practice. It is designed to be operational 24 hours, 7 days a week with minimal maintenance requirements.
