IT 6
The small, lightweight IT 6 helps clearance divers and robotic platforms dispose of modern day and historical ordnance, quickly and effectively. It is designed to be connected directly to a remotely deployed, non-electric mine neutralization device to allow naval EOD teams to send a wireless, acoustic command from their vessel to initiate a shock tube.
IT 6 is based on Sonardyne’s field-proven Wideband 2 digital signal technology, which offers a reliable and long-range underwater wireless communications link.
With IT 6, personnel no longer need to hard wire mine neutralizers up to signal relay buoys on the surface and can set up an initiation operation in bad weather and outside of daylight hours.
