Abstract
A detection system for detecting an object on a water surface, the detection system having a radio detection and ranging device for coarsely detecting a target water surface area with the object, and a laser detection and ranging device for detecting the object within the target water surface area, wherein the laser detection and ranging device includes a laser transmitter for transmitting a laser beam towards the target water surface area, a laser detector for detecting a reflected laser beam, the reflected laser beam forming a reflected version of the transmitted laser beam, and a processor for detecting the object within the target water surface area upon the basis of the reflected laser beam.
