EchoPilot’s new Collision Avoidance Sonar System (CASS) caught the interest of
the National Marine Manufacturers Association, which gave it a 2004 Product
Innovation Award at the MAATS show in Las Vegas. Transmitting a bat-like “swept
chirp” every 1.5 seconds, and covering 60 degrees in the horizontal plane and
approximately 30 degrees in the vertical plane, CASS immediately assesses
hazards up to nearly three-quarters of a mile ahead of a boat. A color screen
displays the range, bearing and depth of the target object and sounds an alarm
when it’s 1,600 feet off the bow.
