My understanding is that they are primarlily using a handheld LIDAR unit, not the typical Ka band radar SP and many locals use, although NHSP is quickly equipping many Troopers with handheld LIDAR units as well.
The LIDAR units will require that your detector have that ability to detect same as well as the typical Ka band requirements. And while the Ka band disperses with range and is fairly easy to detect with a decent detector, LIDAR units, by the nature of their concentrated and mostly non-scatter light beam, are much more difficult to detect in an omni direction as would be required on the water.
Just some food for thought.....
