At present, a significant research project to develop an underwater security sonar system is in progress, started in 2005, the 3 years plan, has been funded by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, Japan. As part of the elemental research, the hull mount type acoustic radar (SeaBat7123) and two types of acoustic video cameras (Standard DIDSON and Long Range DIDSON) have been developed. This acoustic radar has three frequencies (100 - 400kHz band) and each acoustic video camera has two frequencies (0.7 - 1.8MHz band) it is possible to respond to a target, at distance, properly. The hull mount type security sonar system that consisted of these acoustic radar and acoustic video camera is expected to be useful in surveillance system searching and detecting underwater terror attacks, poaching divers, illegal disposals and sunken ships, etc, because we can install it on patrol vessels and are able to watch underwater images while moving around the sea area. This study reports on the results of the practical tests of this security sonar system, carried out in Kobe and Yokohama, for harbor security and underwater searching. The effectiveness and possibility of this sonar system is also noted concerning the business of the Japan Coast Guard.
