In support of NUWCDIVNPT and the US Navy, the Waterside Security team develops anti-threat measures against divers, swimmers, and small to mid-sized Unmanned Underwater Vehicles (UUVs) utilizing the Sonardyne Sentinel Intruder Detection Sonar (IDS) system. The system provides the capability to detect and track the aforementioned underwater threats. The procurement of an upgrade and repair to this system is required to support the continued development of the Waterside Security System at

SOLE SOURCE JUSTIFICATION:

The Sonardyne Sentinel Intruder Detection Sonar (IDS) system is a proprietary sonar of Sonardyne. As such, Sonardyne is the only company with access to the raw sonar data and processing and analysis software for the Sonardyne Sentinel IDS system. As the manufacturer of the system, Sonardyne is the only entity qualified to upgrade Waterside Security’s Sentinel Sonar Heads and provide the required Information Assurance (IA) compliant processing systems.

Failure to procure this Sentinel Sonar Head Upgrade and Repair would result in the Waterside Security program’s inability to meet IA requirements and further develop anti-threat measures to defend critical Navy assets.

Requiring Department:
