Coda Octopus Announces Version 8.0.0 of GeoSurvey
and corrections already applied. It is fully compatible with the Survey Engine suite of geophysical software, giving access to fast and powerful database-driven mosaicking and interpretation tools, including the AI-driven SEADP automated boulder detection package.The latest release of GeoSurvey adds the EdgeTech 3400 portable sub-bottom profiling system to the wide range of digital interfaces supported by GeoSurvey. When coupled with the easy-to-install DA4G-USB device, GeoSurvey can also acquire data simultaneously from multiple analogue and/or digital devices
OceanAlpha Hosts First Marine USV Demonstration in the Middle East
across the Middle East.The event combined static displays of the vessel at the marina with dynamic demonstrations of autonomous navigation, sensor integration, and real-time data collection.The L25 USV demonstrated its multi-sensor hub capability, integrating Teledyne Marine’s T20 Multibeam Sonar, EdgeTech Marine’s 4125 Side Scan Sonar, and Teledyne PDS software. With Trimble Centrepoint RTX signal correction, the system achieved 4 cm positioning accuracy, making it an ideal solution for complex offshore oil & gas and marine survey challenges. During dynamic trial, the vessel simultaneously
Fugro Gifts Survey Equipment to CSIRO to Bolster Australian Ocean Research
Fugro has recently donated two EdgeTech Deep Tow survey systems to the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), Australia’s national science agency.The donation is part of Fugro’s ongoing support of global ocean science initiatives and aligns with its active role in support of the United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development.The survey systems are capable of operating at depths up to 6,000 m. They were once used by Fugro in the deep waters of the Southern Indian Ocean during the search for MH370. Fugro no longer needs them in daily operation
Sea Vorian Expands SEA360 Fleet with Teledyne Gavia AUV
this investment, SEA360 will be able to provide geophysical surveys, cable and subsea infrastructure inspection, environmental studies and become a European provider for underwater data collection and analysis.The newly acquired Teledyne Gavia AUV is equipped with advanced technologies, including the EdgeTech 2205 sonar, with bathymetric and gap-filling module, EXail PHINS C3 Inertial Navigation System (INS), and USBL modules. These technologies will enable Sea360 to perform geophysical survey missions, underwater inspections, and environmental monitoring at depths of up to 1,000 meters.This acquisition
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
