Nigerian Firm Orders HydroSurv’s Hybrid USV for Offshore Survey Ops
, which will be used for hydrographic and geophysical survey operations in Nigeria.The sale marks the HydroSurv’s first delivery to Nigeria where GOSL is one of the leading providers of offshore survey services.The battery-hybrid REAV-47 will be integrated with an advanced payload consisting of a Ping DSP 3DSS-IDX interferometric sonar alongside Innomar's Compact Parametric Sub-Bottom Profiler.The payload configuration will enable concurrent wide-swath bathymetric mapping and high-resolution sub-bottom imaging for comprehensive landfall survey capability on offshore infrastructure projects.GOSL
NORBIT Acquires Ping DSP
NORBIT announces an add-on acquisition of the Canadian maritime technology company PING DSP. The acquisition will broaden the product offering in the Oceans segment.“With the target company having developed an interferometric side scan sonar technology, complementary to NORBIT’s current portfolio, this acquisition supports our strategy to broaden product offering in the Oceans domain by capitalizing on our global sales and distribution platform,” said Per Jørgen Weisethaunet, CEO of NORBIT.Known for producing some of the world’s most advanced interferometric sidescan
New Shallow Water Bathymetry Solution Unveiled
Ping DSP continues to roll out new shallow water bathymetry technologies with the introduction of the turnkey 3DSS-iDX-450. The introduction of the iDX continues PingDSP development of sonar technology for shallow water hydrography and imaging. “Performance, versatility and simplicity, that’s what shallow water hydrographers want, and that’s exactly what the 3DSS-iDX is all about,” said Dr. Paul Kraeutner, PingDSP’s founder and CEO. PingDSP said its engineering team worked closely with both SBG Systems and AML Oceanographic to provide seamless
Case Study: 3DSS-DX-450 Sonar
in the salvage efforts of the 256-foot British iron ship Kilbrannan for several months in the spring of 1896. Scuttled in 1935 in 40 feet of water in Lake Union, the J.E. Boyden wreck is still well preserved and its integrity and orientation have been documented using 3D Sidescan Sonar technology from Ping DSP Inc. Data Acquisition Lake Union is a small freshwater lake situated in Seattle, between Lake Washington and Shilshole Bay, Puget Sound with a surface area of 2.3 square kilometers and an average depth of 10 meters. The 3D Sidescan Sonar survey was conducted using a 3DSS-DX-450 sonar from
Ping DSP Releases MBES Mode Bathymetry Software
Aiming to raise the bar for shallow water mapping and imaging, Ping DSP has introduced its new MBES Bathymetry Engine. With a useable swath width of up to 14 times water depth, the 3DSS brings accurate, wide swath echo sounding to shallow water and provides the same operational and bathymetric performance benefits of Multibeam Echosounders but over the larger swath. Ping DSP said the new MBES Mode uses an advanced new seabed detection algorithm that takes advantage of the dual head nature of the 3DSS sonar and its high resolution 3D imaging capability to achieve swath widths far

capabilities,” said David Finlayson, CTI Chief Scientist. SonarWiz users will have the capability to work with virtually all the industry’s leading sonar system suppliers, including BathySwath, C-MAX, Edgetech, GeoAcoustics, Klein, Knudsen, Kongsberg, Imagenex, Marine Sonic, Ping DSP, SonarBeam, Syqwest, Teledyne Odom, Tritech, Reson and R2Sonic.
Sonar Makers Partner for Seagrass Surveys
Two sonar manufacturers from the Pacific Northwest have joined forces in a cooperative effort aimed at improving efficiencies in aquatic habitat mapping. Seattle-based BioSonics Inc., and Ping DSP, with headquarters located in Victoria, BC, recently conducted trials to evaluate the effectiveness of a Ping DSP 3D Sidescan sonar combined with a BioSonics MX single beam echosounder as a means for locating and quantifying seagrass beds. The Ping DSP 3DSS-DX-450 provides wide-swath bathymetry data with full-water-column three-dimensional backscatter imagery, while the BioSonics MX echosounder uses a

Ping DSP Appoints Sales Agency SUBSEA 20/20
Ping DSP has named SUBSEA 20/20, Inc. the first authorized sales agency to represent their new line of 3D Sidescan sonar systems. After several years of research, product development and testing, Ping DSP recently introduced the first true 3D Sidescan. Ping DSP’s 3DSS sonar is based on patented Computed Angle-of-Arrival Transient Imaging(CAATI) technology which provides high resolution 3Dpoint cloud images over the entire water-column including the seafloor, complex structures and mid-water targets. Unlike interferometric sidescan which resolves one blended angle-of-arrival at each range sample
