Sonic-V+ integration on USV

News & Events

The mission capable class of USV’s from Chance Maritime Technologies changes the narrative in uncrewed surveys inland and offshore, offering both power and endurance in an efficient vehicle.

A Sonic 2022-V+ was easy integrated on the MC29 USV moon pool with retractable mount, for ease of transit, launch and recovery. During survey, it deploys reliably 1.5ft below the hull. Large survey regions can be quickly and efficiently surveyed with minimal logistical burden. Surveys are conducted from the remote operations center, in the comfort of the office. This remote operations center enables safe and efficient control of survey operations 24/7 for USV’s operating anywhere in the world.

Mobilization of the Sonic 2022-V+ multibeam is extremely straightforward. The team was able to integrate, mobilize and complete testing within 2 days.

The Sonic-V Series, combined with USV, can survey an extraordinary amount of area efficiently to achieve every survey mission.

1024 beams vs 1024 soundings, are they the same?

The difference lies in the data collection method: interpolated vs independent Three years ago, R2Sonic was the first MBES manufacturer to launch the “then new” technical mode Ultra High Density (UHD) which consists in collecting 1024 independent soundings, an improvement from the traditional 256 soundings. This 400% increase in number…

MultiSpectral versus Multifrequency Backscatter: A Generational Advancement

Multibeam Backscatter is a tool used in seafloor characterization, and R2Sonic‘s recent MultiSpectral Backscatter advancement dramatically improves this process.  MultiSpectral Backscatter comprises two or more frequencies collected in one-pass using an advanced sonar capable of multifrequency transmissions, either interleaved or simultaneous. MultiSpectral Backscatter should not be confused with MultiFrequency Backscatter Older sonars can collect Multifrequency Backscatter…
