Single & Multibeam Echosounders

Echoscope is the world’s highest definition real time 3D imaging sonar. By generating over 16,000 beams per acoustic transmission and with a frame rate of over 10 pings per second, Echoscope® sonars provide unique underwater 3D acoustic movie imagery. Viewing the subsea scene in real time using patented 3D rendering techniques allows for immediate decision making during underwater positioning projects, whilst maintaining a measurable dataset for mapping purposes.

• High definition 3D sonar image generated in real-time
• Mosaicing capability
• Displays complex moving structures accurately
• Accurate even in turbid water
• Suitable for installation on vessels, ROV, barge or crane
• Accurate geo-referenced data
• Versatile DTM output options
• Very easy to use even by non-sonar experts such as crane operators and law enforcement officers

Used in a number of applications ranging from Port Security, IRM (Inspection, Repair and Maintenance), and cable or mattress laying through to marine construction and ROV intervention work, the Echoscope has proved to save vessel time and increase productivity during zero visibility subsea conditions.

Compact and portable and with the choice of either single frequency or dual frequency systems, the Echoscope can be rapidly deployed on vessels using an over-the-side pole mount or alternatively integrated onto a number of different ROVs or AUVs.

Each Echoscope 3D sonar is supplied with the modular USE (Underwater Survey Explorer) topside software package which can integrate the sonar to a number of auxiliary sensors like motion, heading and positioning systems.

The combination of Echoscope and USE software with their unique and patented capabilities is changing the mode of many subsea operations around the globe.

The Echoscope can be supplied in OEM form for integration with subsea vehicles to perform unique 3D inspections and surveys. CodaOctopus can supply technical integration packs and consultancy to allow the client to seamlessly integrate the Echoscope.

The 6205 utilizes EdgeTech’s next generation bathymetric technology to provide an enhanced and fully integrated, swath bathymetry and dual frequency side scan sonar (SSS) system.

• Next Generation EdgeTech Bathymetric technology
• Wide swath coverage in shallow water, up to 12 times water depth
• Co-registered dual frequency side scan and bathymetry with full nadir coverage
• Improved Depth Performance
• New lightweight Sonar head
• Superior Multipath and surface reflection suppression
• IHO SP-44 Special Order compliance with proven results
• Over 200° view angle with no nadir gap
• Equidistant and Equiangle output options

The 6205 produces real-time, high resolution, three dimensional (3D) maps of the seafloor while providing co-registered simultaneous dual frequency side scan imagery. The 6205 uses ten receive element transducers and one discrete transmit element. The high number of channels enables superior rejection of multipath effects, reverberation and acoustic noise commonly encountered in the shallow water survey environment.

Utilizing EdgeTech’s Full Spectrum® technology, the 6205 exceeds IHO SP-44, NOAA and USACE specifications for feature detection and bathymetric point data uncertainty. Near shore and shallow water hydrographic surveys are completed faster and safer utilizing the 6205 due to the wide swath (over 200º view angle), which is typically more than three times that of existing sonars that rely solely on beam forming techniques.

The 6205 utilizes EdgeTech’s latest electronics and arrays resulting in an extremely lightweight, modular design required for shallow water applications and vessels of opportunity.

The standard configuration for the 6205 includes an integrated sound velocity sensor and interfaces with standard GPS, MRU, SVP, CTD, Altimeters and Gyros. The 6205 interfaces to most 3rd party acquisition and processing software as well.

The applied phase measuring bathymetric sonar technology provides data coverage of up to 12 times the water depth, giving unsurpassed survey efficiency in shallow water environments. The same area can be mapped 30% to 40% faster using GeoSwath Plus than with a typical beamforming echosounder. The GeoSwath Plus comes as a turnkey solution, including the deck unit, compact sonar head and a full software package for data acquisition, processing, system calibrations and production of the final bathymetry grids and side scan mosaics. Alternatively the user can operate with any major third party software. The side scan data can be processed in GeoTexture software to give bottom classification and texture analysis.

The rugged all stainless steel Digibar S was designed for un-tethered sound velocity casting. This configuration frees the probe from its electrical cable making deeper sound speed profiling a much easier and more reliable task.

• Rugged, stainless steel construction
• 500 meter maximum depth
• Records sound velocity, temperature, pressure and time
• Simple Windows based interface

With a 500 m maximum depth capability and storage for multiple casts, the “S’s” flexible design still maintains some of the best features of the popular Digibar Pro. Immediately before the unit is deployed, a simple system of flashing LEDs serves to confirm battery status, pressure sensor status, and overall probe operation. The confirming indicators drastically reduce the possibility of retrieving a deployment only to find that there is no data to show for the effort. Logging parameters are setup via a simple Windows interface communicating through your PC’s USB port. That same port is used to download the results of the cast and to charge the probe’s internal batteries. Cast data (sound velocity, temperature, pressure, and time) are stored internal to the probe in EEPROM. This means that critical measurements are maintained independently from the batteries that power the unit’s time of flight velocity determining circuitry, thereby providing an extra layer of security for the all-important cast results. Accurate, easy to use, rugged and reliable all appropriate descriptors of the Digibar S and the hallmark of Teledyne Odom’s product lines.
