Seafloor Systems has been awarded a contract to deliver an EchoBoat-ASV system to Skanska Construction in Trondheim, Norway.
 
The EchoBoat-ASV features dual-DC motors for ease of control and redundancy, noncorrosive materials, an integral transducer well, and multi-sensor payload capability. In addition, the package includes AutoNav, the Seafloor Auto Pilot package enabling the user to preplan a survey, upload to the onboard memory and autonomously carry out the survey. The system also provides the ability to manually override the Auto Pilot as well as a return to base function.  The EchoBoat-ASV is equipped with a NORBIT iWBMSc (Integrated Wideband Multibeam Sonar, Compact) with internal Novatel SPAN INS and integrated AML real-time SV sensor.
August marks the annual hydrographic e-magazine and the opportunity to highlight some of the global research underway in our world’s oceans. We explore hydrographic data, climate simulations, subsea networks and cybersecurity, camera technology, autonomous operations, sonar and survey solutions, as well as ROVs.
