DSIT Solutions, an Israeli developer and manufacturer of cutting-edge maritime defense and security solutions, has unveiled its task force underwater security system KnightShield, at the UDT 2022 Exhibition in the Netherlands.
The system supports task force underwater protection, simultaneously protecting multiple ships anchored at ports, port entrances, and designated areas of port basins from swimmers, UAVs, SDVs and sabotage attempts.
According to DSIT, based on the sophisticated technology implemented in PointShield, the company’s advanced Diver Detection Sonar (DDS) Systems, KnightShield covers medium ranges in ports, delivering exceptional reliability and precision. Providing fully automatic detection, tracking, classification, and alerts regarding underwater intrusion, smugglers, and sabotage attempts, the system detects hostile divers – whether using closed or open breathing apparatus – as well as AUVs, SDVs, DPVs, and UUVs.
Housed in a 20 ft. ISO container, KnightShield is easily transported, as needed, between platforms and dock locations such as ports, harbors, and terminals. Designed for use during deployment of expeditionary forces and escalated threat levels, the solution can be easily stored when not required.
