Seafloor’s In-Water Demonstration At Oceans ’16

Shingle Springs, California, August 16, 2016—Seafloor Systems, Incorporated, a provider of specialized survey equipment to the Hydrographic and Geophysical Survey community, will conduct live demonstrations of their EchoBoat-ASV with integrated multibeam echosounder during the Oceans ’16 Exhibition in Monterey, California. The customizable, portable, autonomous and remotely controlled EchoBoat-ASV™ survey vehicle will be integrated with a NORBIT iWBMBc—Compact Widebeam Multibeam Sonar, with integrated INS/GNSS and real-time sound velocity probe”. Seafloor’s EchoBoat-ASV includes their proprietary AutoNav™, an auto pilot module which allows the User to pre-plan survey waypoints, upload via RF to the vehicle, and have it automatically carry out the mission without user input.

The EchoBoat-ASV features dual-DC motors for ease of control and redundancy, non-corrosive materials, an integral transducer well and multi-sensor payload capability. It allows the hydrographic surveyor to reliably and effectively tackle multibeam surveys in shallow waters or difficult to reach areas when conventional survey boats are not an option.
