UUV Launch & Recovery System Delivery

  28/01/2010
ODIM Brooke Ocean has delivered a small and compact Unmanned Underwater Vehicle (UUV) Launch and Recovery System (LARS) to Marport, Canada. The UUV LARS will be used for Marport's SQX1 UUV. The 90kg SQX1 is a compact, light-weight UUV designed for search and survey applications in coastal waters up to 500m in depth. It is a hydro-dynamically stable platform designed for reliable performance and low lifecycle cost.


The UUV LARS is comprised of a slewing davit, winch, and docking head. The launch and recovery process incorporates an innovative method of attaching a lifting cable to the UUV without a person or boat in water. The UUV LARS is light weight and durable and can be mounted on a vessel of opportunity.

 

Marport focuses on innovating, developing and marketing Software Defined Sonar technology and products for a wide variety of underwater sensing, communications, and visualization applications. These products range from individual sensors to fully-integrated systems.

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
