Sonardyne Expands SPRINT-Nav into Family of Navigation Products
Sonardyne, a Kraken Robotics company, has expanded its industry-leading SPRINT-Nav technology into a complete, scalable family of underwater navigation systems for marine robots, built around a single shared architecture.For more than a decade, SPRINT-Nav has combined the key sensors needed for underwater navigation in a single pre-calibrated instrument. This has helped subsea vehicle teams around the world to save space, reduce build complexity and lower integration risk.Now the SPRINT-Nav family has expanded, providing higher performance to the smallest vehicles and extending how far the largest
Handy Helpers: Electric Underwater Tools and Manipulators
that during a recent inspection, maintenance and repair campaign, operators used a pair of Reach X five-function manipulators on an inspection-class ROV to move beyond visual inspection and conduct direct asset interaction. “The manipulators were used to place corrosion monitoring probes, clean marine growth to provide inspection access, and handle small subsea components, allowing condition assessment work to be completed without mobilizing a larger intervention system.“For us, this project reflects a broader shift in the industry,” he added. “Operators are increasingly looking
PerkinElmer Contributes FITR Spectroscopy Technology to eXXpedition Mission
PerkinElmer, a provider of analytical solutions that support human and environmental health, announced a partnership with eXXpedition, the all-women global sailing research organization dedicated to investigating the causes and impacts of plastic pollution in the marine environment. eXXpedition’s latest mission will deliver the first global study mapping ocean plastic pollution back to its sources on land. With the second leg of the voyage underway, PerkinElmer is supporting the mission by equipping eXXpedition with Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy technology, polymer spectral
DEA Receives Teledyne Marine SeaBat T51-R Integrated Dual Head
David Evans and Associates (DEA), a US consulting firm, has taken delivery of Teledyne Marine's SeaBat T51-R Integrated Dual Head (IDH) system.DEA’s use of RESON’s sensors has evolved from the early applications of the SeaBat 9001 through to the SeaBat T51 and Integrated Dual Head solutions in use today. Applications include coastal and inland infrastructure inspections, site characterization and habitat mapping using normalized backscatter, navigation and nautical charting surveys, civil works design and construction surveys, cable and pipeline route surveys and inspection, and
