Cohda Wireless has been invited by BAE Systems Maritime Australia to trial its proprietary positioning technology as part of an initiative to make its Osborne Naval Shipyard in South Australia a safer environment for thousands of shipbuilding workers. BAE Systems Maritime Australia is responsible for the design and build of nine Hunter class frigates for the Royal Australian Navy (RAN). The Hunter Class Frigate Program (HCFP) is the largest surface ship project in Australia's defense history, creating thousands of jobs and establishing continuous naval shipbuilding capability in Australia. Cohda's proximity threat detection platform uses sensors to prevent collisions between moving vehicles, equipment and employees, leveraging its proprietary Locate technology, which was developed to solve the vehicle positioning accuracy challenges inherent in the urban canyons of cities where large buildings, underground carparks and tunnels interfere with GNSS signals. It is now being trialled with the view that it could be deployed to deliver sub-meter accurate 3D location in a complex shipyard environment.
