Where every buoy goes,
and what it really covers.

Terrain-masked coverage

The datasheet draws a circle. The seabed does not.

PHAROS walks the depth profile out along every azimuth from the node, finds where the geometry stops the sensor, and returns the polygon that survives. A barrier that looked continuous on a range map usually is not, and it is better to have that argument at the planning table than after an incident review.

• Depth profile traced per azimuth, per node, per sensor type
• Usable footprint returned as a polygon, not a radius
• Nominal range kept on screen next to it, so the loss is visible
• The same masking pass feeds coverage, gaps and maintenance

Detection probability

A barrier is a probability.

Covered or not covered is what the market reports. PHAROS computes detection probability across every overlapping sensor on a crossing track, over the whole set of tracks, and reports the weak one. That is the track that gets used, so that is the number the barrier should be judged on.

• Probability per track, aggregated across every sensor that sees it
• The barrier scored on its weakest crossing, not its average
• Gap list produced with the layout, in the same pass
• Every figure labelled measured, computed or estimated
