GeoAcoustis Launches New Sub-Bottom Profiler and Software Integration Capabilities
Hydroacoustic sensor technology developer GeoAcoustics has launched the GeoPulse 2 Sub-Bottom Profiler, while also announcing the new integration between GeoPulse Compact and Geo-Suite seismic acquisition software.Designed for diverse applications including pipeline detection, geological surveys, dredging surveys, environmental assessments, and buried object detection, GeoPulse 2 is a highly versatile tool built on 40 years of hydroacoustic technology development by GeoAcoustics.GeoPulse 2 is able to reach into deeper waters for the acquisition of essential data for the development and operation of
New Tech Frontiers for Ocean Gliders
to mimic machinery noise, and tracked AIS so they could correlate it with acoustic data from the hydrophones and the glider’s location data.Burnett says one of the goals was real-time processing to get real-time information about what’s in the water. This meant signal processing and software integration into the glider, but, with the longer array, also improving the power supply to reduce noise.“We were able to correlate with AIS and could see a cargo vessel passing within 2.45nm of the array,” says Burnett. “We were also able to collect biological data. We observed a pod

Arctic and Marine Biology, University of Tromsø.Some features of the new X3 model include:Three Guest Ports supporting eight different communication protocols for integrating external equipment.Software integration in the Blueye App for grippers and manipulators.Support for navigation and positioning systems such as Waterlinked DVL and GPS, and different sonars from Blue Robotics, Impact Subsea, and Blueprint Subsea.Blueye External-Camera and Blueye External-Lights (up to 10,000 lumens) which can be
Ocean Glider Equipped with Fishery Echosounder
echosounder, a modification of ASL's proven Acoustic Zooplankton and Fish Profiler (AZFP), to Teledyne Webb Research (TWR). The acoustic transducer fits a standard “ECOPuck” housing used on the TWR's Slocum glider for other applications. Earlier this year, TWR completed the software integration of the electronics into the Slocum glider. The glider controls the operation of the echosounder and its configuration can be changed on-the-fly. Up to 3 frequency channels can be added to the AZFP electronics. Recent sea trials exceeded the team's expectations. During
