EdgeTech Delivers ERB for Deewater Acoustic Release Mooring Recovery
EdgeTech, a provider of high resolution sonar imaging systems, acoustic release systems and underwater technology, said it recently delivered an innovative solution for deepwater acoustic release mooring recovery.The Emergency Recovery Beacon (ERB) is a self-contained, programable acoustic command transmitter and transponder in a 6,000 meter rated nickel aluminium bronze alloy housing that can be lowered from the side of a vessel below any surface noise, shipboard noise or thermoclines.The ERB is programmed through a serial port using a computer running a terminal program and can transmit EdgeTech LF
Sonar Helps Find Missing Argentine Submarine
EdgeTech, a manufacturer of high-resolution sonar imaging systems and underwater technology, said its side scan sonar technology was used to help find the missing Argentine submarine, ARA San Juan, which was recently located in 900 meters of water off Argentina's Atlantic Coast after a yearlong search.The deepwater search was performed by Ocean Infinity and its advanced fleet of 6,000 meter rated autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV) equipped with EdgeTech 2205 Side Scan Sonars. The ARA San Juan was imaged by the EdgeTech sonar operating at a frequency of 230kHz and a 400-meter range scale.EdgeTech&r
$17B Spanish Galleon San Jose: EdgeTech Instrumental
side scan sonar systems provide operators the ability to image large areas of the sea floor during important deep-water searches when the whereabouts of sunken objects are largely unknown. EdgeTech’s unique side scan sonar frequency pairing options such as 400 / 900 kHz enable very high-resolution searches while 75 / 230 kHz combinations provide long range 2,000 meter wide swath searches such as the one recently that resulted in the discovery of the USS Indianapolis. EdgeTech sonars are the benchmark for deep water searches and are presently in service on the ongoing Ocean Infinity search
EdgeTech Sonar Utilized in USS Juneau Discovery
EdgeTech, developer of high resolution sonar imaging systems and underwater technology, said its side scan sonar technology was used in another very noteworthy underwater find. Just weeks after locating the USS Lexington, the research vessel Petrel and Paul Allen’s team has located the sunken remains of the USS Juneau. The USS Juneau, a US Navy light cruiser, was sunk in November 1942 during World War II. Located in over 4,000 meters of water the historic vessel can be seen in this very clear, low-noise EdgeTech 2205 sonar image. The amazing image shows the large 2 kilometer
EdgeTech Sonar Utilized in Search of the USS Lexington
EdgeTech, a leader in high resolution sonar imaging systems and underwater technology, was recently honored to learn that it’s industry leading side scan sonar technology was once again used by the Research Vessel Petrel and Paul Allen’s talented team in the discovery of the USS Lexington. The USS Lexington, one of the first aircraft carriers built and commissioned by the United States of America, was sunk during the Battle of the Coral Sea in 1942 off the coast of Australia. The wreckage was discovered in approximately 3,000 meters of water. EdgeTech side scan sonar systems
EdgeTech Sonar Utilized in USS Indianapolis Discovery
Manufacturer of high resolution sonar imaging systems and underwater technology EdgeTech said its AUV-based side scan sonar system played a key role in the recent discovery of the USS Indianapolis wreckage 5,500 meters deep in the Philippine Sea. The sinking of the USS Indianapolis had the greatest loss of life from a single ship in the history of the U.S. Navy. The EdgeTech 2205 AUV-based sonar system is one of the many advanced underwater technology systems on-board the RV Petrel which discovered the wreckage recently. The system is integrated into a deep water autonomous underwater vehicle
EdgeTech Upgrades its Sonar Software
EdgeTech enhances Discover software with new coverage mapper and target logger EdgeTech, producer of high resolution sonar imaging systems and underwater technology, has released a new version of its Discover sonar software. The new software coverage mapper module has advanced navigation features allowing the setup of survey lines with a left/right steering indicator to assist in survey line control. Background navigation charts and other imagery such as multibeam bathymetry and satellite imagery can be layered or blended with individual transparency control, a feature unique to this software.
EdgeTech Delivers Multi Phase Echo Sounder to UNH CCOM
EdgeTech, provider of high resolution sonar imaging systems and underwater technology, recently delivered a 6205 Multi Phase Echo Sounder (MPES) system to the University of New Hampshire’s Center for Coastal and Ocean Mapping/Joint Hydrographic Center (CCOM/JHC). The EdgeTech 6205 MPES produces real-time, high resolution, three dimensional (3D) maps of the seafloor while providing co-registered simultaneous dual frequency side scan imagery. EdgeTech said its Multi Phase technology allows a user to collect wide swathe, wide angle, high resolution bathymetry data that’s
EdgeTech 8011M Available with URI PIES Interface
EdgeTech, a producer of high resolution sonar imaging systems and underwater technology, said it now offers a communication interface to the University of Rhode Island Inverted Echo Sounder or “URI PIES” system through the 8011M deck box. The URI PIES system is often moored in deep locations for extended periods of time. Acoustic communication to the instrument is value to ensure its safe return. The EdgeTech 8011M is a versatile and field-proven acoustic command and ranging deck box. The system can control and range on EdgeTech’s full line of acoustic releases as well
