New Technology:

Most recently the company has delivered its first 2205 AUV/ROV –based sonar system that was configured for combined side scan sonar and bathymetry for a small AUV. Based on the success of the EdgeTech 4600 platform the 2205 system offers users the ability to survey in shallow waters and obtain wide swath bathymetry with co-registered side scan sonar imagery.

In the acoustic release line, the PACS Deck Box has taken hold as a multifunctional surface unit for users that have mid-frequency (MF) or low frequency (LF) acoustic releases and need a small portable and affordable acoustic deck unit to range to and command their subsea acoustic releases such as the PORT, SPORT or 8242.
