Techniques are disclosed for systems and methods to provide wildlife feeding flock detection using a remote sensing imagery system. A remote sensing imagery system includes a radar assembly mounted to a mobile structure and a coupled logic device. The logic device is configured to receive radar returns corresponding to a detected target, determine a radial velocity spectrum associated with the detected target based, at least in part, on the received radar returns, and determine a probability the detected target includes a feeding flock based, at least in part, on the determined radial velocity spectrum. The logic device may generate radar image data based on the received radar returns, the determined radial velocity spectrum, and/or the probability the detected target includes the feeding flock. Subsequent user input and/or the sensor data may be used to adjust a steering actuator, a propulsion system thrust, and/or other operational systems of the mobile structure.

Doppler radar flock detection systems and methods

Techniques are disclosed for systems and methods to provide networkable sonar systems for mobile structures. A networkable sonar system includes a transducer module and associated sonar electronics and optionally orientation and/or position sensors and/or other sensors disposed substantially within the housing of a sonar transducer assembly, which is coupled to one or more user interfaces and/or other sonar systems over an Ethernet connection. The sonar transducer assembly may be configured to support and protect the transducer module and the sonar electronics and sensors, to physically and/or adjustably couple to a mobile structure, and/or to provide a simplified interface to other systems coupled to the mobile structure. Resulting sonar data and/or imagery may be transmitted over the Ethernet connection and displayed to a user and/or used to adjust various operational systems of the mobile structure.
