1 Subsea Asset Loca-on Technologies (SALT) Ltd Introduc*on to SonarBell and its applica*ons
2 Agenda Introduc*on to the SonarBell Technology Commercial Markets SALTs Automa*c Detec*on So>ware Case Studies Ques*ons
3 SonarBell an introduc*on to the technology
4 SALT - Introduc*on SonarBell was developed by the UK Ministry of Defence s Science Technology Laboratories (Dstl) to provide: Spin out company from UK MoD Exclusive license for SonarBell technology Core patents owned by MoD Addi*onal patents owned by SALT SALT con*nuing to develop applica*ons / technology Company founded in Feb 2008 Based in Portland, Dorset Product in use across mul*ple sectors Wide range of applica*on across a broad range of market sectors
5 SonarBell - provenance Original Idea Icosahedron Corner reflector (le>). SonarBell Developed by UK MoD Defence Science and technology laboratories (Dstl) to provide: A highly efficient & non magne*c sonar target Easy to handle Cheaper than alterna*ves Have minimal maintenance.
6 Technology What is the SonarBell? The SonarBell works through the construc*ve interference of sound waves when they meet a>er transi*ng the shell and core It is totally passive and omnidirec*onal Maximum target strength varies from - 5 db to - 30 db across the frequency range of 4 khz to 900 khz* Specific frequencies and target strengths are achieved by changing the thickness of the shell and other proper*es The range depends on SonarBell size and frequency of the sonar * For a 200 mm sphere
7 SonarBell Technology (con*nued) The SonarBell also has addi*onal features to detect against: Unique frequency response Two echo's, with an acous*c diameter Phase difference between the two echoes Allowing mul*ple signatures Passive USBL applica*ons Direc*onal response Narrow beam widths, point source
8 SonarBell response Each SonarBell unit can be customised to give the following results: Calibrated to a target strength at a required frequency A broadband frequency response A single / mul*ple frequency response peaks Coated to only respond at certain frequencies Top Image: Indicates the ability to have a general broadband signal response. Bo;om Image: (red- front reflec@on / blue is rear echo) designed to provide peak response.
9 Typical return from a SonarBell SonarBell has two reflec*ons A Front Echo (lower level) B Focused Return (high level) B A SonarBell B A B A Tx/Rx
10 Dis*nguishing between different diameters Dis*nguishing between different SonarBells acous*cally, is made easier by changing the overall diameter of the SonarBell. The acous*c diameter can be found by measuring the *me difference between the front and back echo. The acous*c diameter is larger than the balls physical diameter due to the speed of sound in the core being slower than the speed of sound in water Amplitude (V) E E E E E E mm 200mm Time (s)
11 SonarBell Alachments SonarBell can be alached to almost anything The SonarBell comes with a standard net At manufacture the SonarBell can be modified to take a rigid stanchion that can be screwed into the shell material Alachments Standard net Inline net Float and net alachment Rigid stanchion Magne*c stanchion Any single point stanchion to meet your needs

21 through life use of SonarBell technology Oil and Gas Survey & Installa*on Monitoring & Maintenance Decommissioning can be used to assist a host of installa*on tasks and provide a low cost and re- usable solu*on. Posi*oning subsea structures on the seabed requires accurate reference points. Posi*oning a pipe or cable to ensure accurate touch down in congested areas avoiding collateral damage can necessitate considerable extra programme cost. U*lising SonarBell as part of the posi*oning solu*on could improve the accuracy of such sonar driven opera*ons significantly. SonarBell can be kept in place for future installa*on opera*ons. Alaching a SonarBell along a seabed asset will create a series of bright echoes to guide an ROV or AUV to the target area during its inspec*on procedure. It is possible to create different SonarBell combina*ons to mark different points along the path. Where a cable, pipe or fibre is buried, SonarBell can assist in monitoring the status of the protec*ve covering to ensure it is maintained in accordance with best prac*ce or contractual obliga*ons. Decommissioning is a costly process for an asset that is no longer delivering revenue. If SonarBell units are filed then the *me taken to recover the component parts from the ocean floor can poten*ally be reduced, increasing opera*onal efficiency and reducing costs Where assets are broken up and le> on the seabed for later recovery alaching SonarBell units ensures all parts are recovered. The addi*on of SonarBell to the subsea structures may negate need for removal as they will be clearly iden*fiable.
22 Cable Industry Applica*ons Cable posi*oning Cable monitoring Monitoring cable during lay process Monitoring a laid cable over *me Marking of duct entrances Marking of cable ends Marking of cable crossover/matresses Marking of wet stored cable Cable repair Accurate prepara*on for cable lay Cable scour monitoring
23 Underwater Roadways Do you need to know your posi*on underwater? No you don t Acous*c posi*oning systems are widely used provides posi*on informa*on naviga*on to a new loca*on is supported by moving posi*ons fundamentally change of loca*on is required not posi*onal informa*on, e.g. home to work Underwater Roadways provide an alterna*ve method of suppor*ng movement between loca*ons
24 Underwater Roadways Predefined, safe routes that provide a simple and intui*ve method of movement between loca*ons underwater Actual Each roadway is marked by a trail of SonarBells omni- direc*onal response maintenance free expected life > 20 years limitless endurance accessible to all visible by sonar Roadway networks contain familiar features straights, curves, junc*ons Concept under development by SALT Sonar Response local water demonstra*on test bed future SATNAV type display for ROV pilots (basis of AUV guidance system) User Interface
25 Spool ma*ng Aids final connec*on of spool to flange SonarBells filed onto ma*ng parts allows rela*ve posi*ons to be observed using sonar Extension allows ma*ng trajectories to be es*mated Benefits real- *me monitoring of posi*on and alignment extension supports alignment trajectories no requirements for second monitoring ROV low- risk / low- cost adop*on strategy parallel opera*on with current methods easy removal of SonarBells a>er use
26 a of Defence and Security applica*ons SonarBell Calibra-on System (SCS) Portable system for the calibra*on and alignment of radar and sonar systems, to provide a coherent mari*me picture above and below water. SonarBell Underwater Mine Marking System (SUMMS) A totally passive device, non magne*c high acous*c signature - ideal device for marking mines or other objects for destruc*on. SonarBell Performance and Training System (SPATS) Knowing the effec*ve range of a swimmer detec*on sonar is vital if intercep*on teams are to be effec*ve - SonarBells used as range markers provide that piece of mind. SonarBell Equipment Tracking System - (SETS) Passive tracking of underwater vehicles for in- service posi*on monitoring and asset recovery. SonarBell Entry, Exit And Recovery System - (SEEARS) Suppor*ng combat swimmers during the entry, exit and recovery opera*onal phases and marking the loca*on of equipment.
