In 2019 under contract to NOAA Fisheries West Fork launched a Pit Detection Barge with larger antennas and improved debris clearance features. Debris clearance is now facilitated by PLC controlled winches that allow the hydrodynamically shaped antenna housings to rotate in the current to release accumulated debris. This feature was deemed critical to future deployments that will be in close proximity to major dams and/or fast water environments where boat access is restricted or difficult.
