Applications

Industries and Specific Applications We Serve

Advances in underwater acoustic technology are rapidly changing the way the marine environment is being explored in order to map, manage and defend that environment.

Shallow water multibeam surveys are part of that technology involved in projects that range from dredging to habitat mapping.

Dredging

R2Sonic provides clean data fast that can be analyzed quickly to keep dredging projects on schedule and profitable.

“The Sonic 2024 wideband multibeam echosounder was quick and simple to integrate into our AUVs and aong with the accuracy and stability of an AUV platform produced excellent results. The ease of integration, reliability, quality and resolution, increased useable swath coverage and low power consumption makes the system a suitable replacement for ageing AUV multibeam systems”

— Paul Nicholson, Geosurvey Manager, De Beers Marine, South Africa
“The Sonic Wideband Multibeam systems have proven to be exceptional assets for our offshore operations. We are replacing our shallow water Multibeam inventory with Sonic systems resulting in higher performance with significant reduction in acquisition, maintenance and inventory costs.”
