Ashtead Technology Partners Up with EdgeTech for eBOSS Sonar System
Ashtead Technology has signed a global technology partnership with EdgeTech to bring the first eBOSS system to the subsea technology rental market.The EdgeTech Buried Object Sonar System (eBOSS) is the latest advanced technology sub-bottom sonar system developed for penetrating the seabed to accurately detect, locate, classify and identify buried and partially protruding objects including unexploded ordnance (UXO).Originally developed for smaller UXO, the eBOSS system is also capable of identifying larger items such as mine-like objects, obstructions, pipelines and cables.Due to the low-frequency
Teledyne Marine Secures Framework Agreement with Swedish Defense Materiel Administration (FMV)
be dedicated to Mine Counter Measures (MCM) applications.The award of the Framework Agreement follows an international open tender last year, with FMV selecting the GAVIA AUV with the highest meritorious score against their technical requirements.Teledyne Gavia ehf offered its GAVIA AUV fitted with an EdgeTech 2205 side scan sonar and a Teledyne Flir Blackfly-S camera. Thanks to the GAVIA’s AUV modularity, the Swedish Navy can add other payloads such as synthetic aperture sonar, magnetometers, or multibeams as mission requirements evolve.The Framework Agreement will run over several years and
TDI-Brooks Completes Suriname Piston Coring Project
.Several possible hydrocarbon discoveries were made making for a very successful program for all involved, with some visually interesting cores being recovered.R/V Gyre is outfitted with a full seep hunting kit including a newly installed Kongsberg EM-304 (1×1) hull-mounted multibeam (MBES) kit and Edgetech HM3300 Chirp sub-bottom profiler with a 4×4 Masa TR-1075 transducer array. The vessel has geotechnical and geochemical coring, heat flow, CPT and other sampling capabilities.Geochemical analyses and interpretation services will be performed at TDI-Brooks chemistry and geotechnical laboratories
EdgeTech High-Res Sonar Facilitates Missing Aircraft Discovery
A side scan sonar technology from EdgeTech, a developer high resolution sonar imaging systems and underwater technology, has proved instrumental in helping to locate an aircraft that has been missing for over fifty years. In 1971 a plane departed from Burlington International Airport bound for Providence RI but crashed enroute, presumably in Lake Champlain.Searches were carried out at the time of the crash, but weather made the operations difficult. In subsequent years many other searches were completed to no avail. In May 2024, utilizing pieces of information from prior surveys
North American Lobster Industry Confronts 'Ropeless' Traps After Whale Entanglements
in 2022 that envisions potential regulations for ropeless technology in coming years, and Canada’s Fisheries department has called ropeless gear “the only way you eliminate the vertical line entanglement risk.”'Drastic over-response'Rob Morris, a product line sales engineer for Edgetech, one of the handful of companies working on ropeless traps, said most of the technical issues around the equipment have been resolved – including reliability, viewing submerged gear on a chart plotter, and avoiding other people’s traps."This is pretty much fully developed,&rdquo

Reader Feedback: Lander Lab #4 - Underwater Releases
measure 100’s of meters. Net weight of the buoyant lander with a negative anchor weight should be around 40-lbs, so a lightweight capstan will suffice. The capstan should be mounted rigidly to the boat frame to allow for dynamic loading with roll, pitch and heave.From Rob Morris, EdgeTechKevin, please remind your readers that EdgeTech is expanding their code structure to offer additional unique codes for their acoustic releases. The change increases the number of possible commands from 12,000 to 131,000 per tone pair for a total possible 786,000 commands. All new low frequency
