as a sonar system providing military grade technology that provides 3D seabed imaging, faster data processing and a lower cost. AquaPix is designed for operation on AUVs, manned and unmanned surface vessels and towed bodies. The modular system uses the latest electronics, transducer arrays and signal processing software optimized for the demanding size, weight, power and cost constraints of unmanned maritime vehicles. AquaPix generates bathymetry data (25cm along-track x 25cm across-track x 5cm height) co-registered and geo-referenced to the same pixel grid co-ordinates as the imagery. Operators

bathymetric data with bin resolutions better than 10cm x 10cm and depth accuracy in compliance with IHO special order requirements. INSAS offers high resolution imagery at longer ranges than conventional side-scan sonar. This is done by replacing traditional sonar hardware with sophisticated signal processing software. The receive transducer array of INSAS is “synthesized” in software by the coherent recombination of many sonar pings overlapping an area of interest. Karl Kenny, Kraken President/CEO said, “We’re honored to be participating in the 2014 Victoria Strait Expedition

unit. In essence, the GPU acts as a massively parallel embedded processor for Synthetic Aperture Sonar (SAS) data. SAS provides ultra-high seafloor image resolution at significantly longer ranges than conventional sonar. This is done by replacing traditional sonar hardware with sophisticated signal processing software. “We are very pleased to announce that we are now shipping our new RTSAS module,” said Karl Kenny, President and CEO for Kraken Sonar Systems Inc. “We’re continuing to build the performance innovations that our customers demand for their mission-critical sonar

SAS offer high resolution imagery at longer ranges than conventional side-scan sonars. This is done by replacing traditional sonar hardware with sophisticated signal processing software. The principle of SAS is that the receive transducer array is “synthesized” in software by the coherent recombination of many sonar pings overlapping an area of interest. This represents a major savings in sonar hardware and enables much higher resolution than is possible with
