interaction and allows for control of multiple Tritech products from within one software package. Software development kits (SDKs) are also available for Windows and Linux operating systems“With its ultra-low-noise differential analogue front-end supporting a wide dynamic range optimised for sonar imaging applications, and with its ability to actively attenuate waterborne electrical noise from other subsea equipment, the Gemini 1200id provides work class ROV operators the clarity and confidence necessary for mission critical operations,” added Asim Azad, Hardware Engineering Manager
EdgeTech High-Res Sonar Facilitates Missing Aircraft Discovery
A side scan sonar technology from EdgeTech, a developer high resolution sonar imaging systems and underwater technology, has proved instrumental in helping to locate an aircraft that has been missing for over fifty years. In 1971 a plane departed from Burlington International Airport bound for Providence RI but crashed enroute, presumably in Lake Champlain.Searches were carried out at the time of the crash, but weather made the operations difficult. In subsequent years many other searches were completed to no avail. In May 2024, utilizing pieces of information from prior surveys

EMILY: Hydronalix Finds new Uses for Unmanned Surface Vessel Technology
Mongolia and Kazakhstan during floods, in Indonesia for tsunami response, and in Greece to rescue migrants. With Office of Naval Research funding, EMILY has been upsized to a 65” and 75” Autonomous Mobile Bouy ISR platform called AMY with tracking cameras, radar, weather station, and sonar imaging. Most recently, EMILY, AMY, and a pair of other Hydronalix solutions--NIX and ADAPT—were used in demonstrations as part of the BALTOPS 2021 multi-national military exercises conducted in June in and around the Baltic Sea.AMY is a general purpose USV that can be customized
