IXSEA at Euronaval

  09/10/2008
IXSEA takes its place in the defense industry at EURONAVAL 2008, to be held at Paris-Le Bourget (France), from 27 to 31 October, with its Fiber Optic Gyroscope (FOG) technology for naval applications.
 

 

Designed to meet the demands of the navy for more accurate INS, MARINS is a naval inertial navigation system based on the company's solid state FOG technology. Currently the US DoD is investing millions of dollars to develop military grade inertial systems based on FOG technology for its navy. However, IXSEA is already producing systems with this technology, such as MARINS.

 

Earlier this year, IXSEA delivered several MARINS to the Dutch based company, Imtech Marine & Offshore. These systems, perfect for naval applications, will be used on Ocean Patrol Vessels.

 

IXSEA provides full route survey systems, consisting of a full suite of sensors (sonars, multibeam echosounder, gradiometer and an acoustic position system) as well as software which allows survey management, display and interpretation of all collected data. Recently, the Belgian Navy commissioned such a portable route survey system to be used on its fleet of mine-hunters.

 

Recently launched, GRADIOMAGIS (image) is an omnidirectional gradiometer designed to map unexploded ordnance or other metallic objects. Its real-time magnetic gradient computation allows for superior spatial resolution and sensitivity to detection features.

 

SODENA WECDIS PC-based GIS systems are ECDIS compliant and IEC 60945 standard hardware solutions. The company can integrate all standard and non-standard devices into a single system such as waterproof terminals and ruggedized PCs.

Hydrographic Survey of Riverbed Erosion

Members of the US Geological Survey were filmed while out on the Missouri River at Williston, North Dakota, USA, performing a hydrographic survey to monitor the state of riverbed erosion. They were using a multibeam echo sounder which transmits sound energy and analyses the return signal (echo) that has bounced off the riverbed or other objects. Multibeam sonars emit sound waves from directly beneath a ship's hull to produce fan-shaped coverage of the riverbed. 


Gauge height at the Williston gauge was approximately 27.65 feet when this video was taken. Additional information about the USGS streamgauge at Williston is available at http://waterdata.usgs.gov/nd/nwis?program=nwisman&site_no=06330000
