In today's world, security issues are becoming increasingly urgent, and this also applies to the underwater environment. Latvian technology company SIA Dronelab, in close cooperation with partners from the UK and Germany, offers an innovative solution - acoustic sensor technology for protecting ports and other critical infrastructure underwater. This solution opens up new opportunities for monitoring underwater approaches and ensuring security.
Precise technology for detecting unauthorized movementi
Ltd. Dronelab The implemented system is based on highly sensitive acoustic sensors that are deployed underwater to continuously monitor a specific water area. This technology is able to capture and analyze underwater sounds, effectively identifying any unauthorized or suspicious movement. If the system detects a potential violation, it immediately sends an alarm signal to the operator or the integrated security system.
The technology is particularly notable for its high accuracy and ability to distinguish between different sound sources. The sensors are trained to recognize specific acoustic “signatures,” allowing them to clearly distinguish, for example, a diver from a seal or other marine animal. The system is also able to identify underwater robots (UUVs) and distinguish them from natural phenomena, such as wave noise or currents. This significantly reduces the number of false alarms and provides reliable information about real threats.
Easy installation and integration
One of the most important advantages of this system is its practicality. The sensors are installed below the water surface, making them invisible from the outside and difficult to damage or bypass. The system is relatively compact and portable. The installation process is surprisingly fast – it can be completed in as little as one week. After installation, a testing and calibration period follows, which usually lasts about a month, to ensure maximum efficiency in the given conditions.
Furthermore, this advanced acoustic surveillance system is designed to be easily integrated into existing port or other facility security and alarm systems, allowing for the creation of a single, comprehensive security network that covers both surface and underwater areas.

About the technologies offered by the company
The acoustic sensor technology offered by Dronelab SIA and its international partners is a significant step forward in the protection of critical infrastructure. It not only demonstrates the ability of Latvian companies to operate in the field of high technology, but also provides a real, effective solution to underwater security challenges. This technology, which can distinguish a diver from a seal, is another example of how diverse and innovative technologies related to the underwater world can be.
