NORBIT DCT – Hydrographic Survey Made Easy
with survey capabilities ranging from single-beam to multibeam echosounders, sub-bottom profilers, lidar, and magnetometers. The developed markets with a long history of bathymetry and hydrography surveys are well prepared to serve the increased demand with professional hydrographers, equipment and software support. However, in emerging markets and developing countries, the professional hydrography market requires a different approach as the backlog of professional hydrographic surveyors is not established yet. The current commercially available tools require ex-tensive training and understanding of the

Getting Defensive
operator workload during bearings-only sonar target tracking in response to an SBIR award. SMART addresses the quantification of performance. SANS - positional accuracy of several meters in real-time in a local operating region. Currently, SANS is installed on U.S. submarines with APB-11 software support or higher. AIRS - passively localizes a target in 3D emitting active acoustic energy via the use of spatially diverse sensors. The technology removes the necessity for collinearly placed hull sensors by actually exploiting their non-collinearity. ACMS - greatly reduces submarine operator
Italian Surveyors Benefit from Proactive Eiva Training
to be exposed to the software suite. A mix of survey party chiefs, senior and junior surveyors, data processors, as well as GIS & CAD operatives attended the courses.
