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

Providing a 2.5mm range resolution combined with a 1° angular resolution enables exceptionally high definition imagery from a highly compact sonar. With a range capability in excess of 100 meters the ISS360HD can suit a range of AUV, ROV and standalone underwater applications.
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

South Bay Cable Celebrates 60
more demanding, and the cables became more complex. These cables covered a broad spectrum of uses, which included a wide band of temperature ranges, electrical characteristics and mechanical requirements. Many of the cables were being used in harsh environments and included both above ground and underwater applications. Working underwater presented a unique set of challenges including designing to withstand external hydrostatic pressure, water migration, fish bite protection and mechanical requirements. South Bay’s engineers identified materials which were best suited for this diverse
MTR100: Aquabotix Technology
. Its HydroView and newly launched Endura ROVs are remotely controlled via a tether with the added functionality of autopilot commands. Endura, which employs the latest software and hardware innovations, has been engineered for dependability and functionality across a wide range of underwater applications. It outperforms other mini ROVs in thrust, dependability and software performance. Endura is easy to use, ready for the water in three minutes, and basic driver competency is developed in about three hours with professional proficiency achieved in three days. Endura is intelligent &ndash
