The Falmouth Scientific Unveils New Transducers
.The AT-650S-AUV TRIOD Low Frequency (200Hz to +2000Hz) Acoustic Projector. The AT-650S-AUV TRIOD single element projector provides a low frequency broadband sound source for applications including underwater communications, sub-bottom profiling or others in a compact form factor for AUV or other underwater applications. An optional Ultra High Definition Audio Class D Amplifier and Troidal Matching Transformer allows for a line level input powered by 48VDC and as low as 24VDC at a reduced power output. The AT-650x-AUV is also available in Dual (AT-650D-AUV) or Triple (AT-650T-AUV) configurations.Also being
Subnero, Popoto Unveil New Underwater Acoustic Modem
to create a new underwater acoustic modem, the S1000-N. The modem combines the best from both companies, bringing together the power of the Popoto’s S1000 series modems and Subnero’s underwater network stack (UnetStack), enabling advanced underwater networks for a variety of underwater applications, such as current and temperature measurement, pollution tracking and other multi-node uses. With the S1000-N, users can see a data rate of up to 10240 bps over a range of 3+ km. Subnero’s technology integration allows users to take full advantage of UnetStack, an underwater networking

Blue Logic Wins ONS Award for Subsea Docking Station for ROVs
enables underwater vehicles or drones to be permanently deployed subsea by providing access to power for charging and communications, for upload/download of inspection and assignment data."The ability to long-term or permanently deploy underwater drones is seen as a benefit for several underwater applications, enabling a reduction in risk to personnel, who can operate the vehicles from shore, [and] a reduction in the carbon footprint of subsea operations by no longer requiring a support vessel on-site," the company said.Stig Magnar Lura, General Manager at Blue Logic said Norway's energy
DOLPHIN: Enabling Technology for Acoustic Systems
more quickly and reliably finding and neutralizing mines in deep waters and in the surf zone. Commercially the oil and gas, and to a lesser extent offshore renewables, are looking to seafloor resident systems for both installation and inspection, maintenance and repair (IMR). These underwater applications will benefit immensely from the utility, position navigation and timing (PNT) and data connectivity, taken for granted by mobile devices connected to conventional satellite and radio networks. These markets will also benefit from improved sonar. Mine hunting coverage rates will increase
