Calibrated Echoscope System Delivered to China17/02/2010 |
| The first ever Calibrated Echoscope System was recently delivered to a highly respected Chinese customer by CodaOctopus Products. The undisclosed client, a leading underwater research institution, contacted CodaOctopus with precisely defined specifications which required target strength returns from the Echoscope sonar to be both accurate and absolute, regardless of where the object is in 3D space. |

Following in-depth negotiations and the application of the acoustic engineering skills of CodaOctopus, the Calibrated Echoscope Real-Time 3D Sonar System was delivered to the Chinese client. Providing over 16,000 accurate intensity returns per ping, it enables the user to locate objects of known target strength; this makes the system ideally suited to a range of underwater applications including mine counter measures (MCM), environmental projects and rapid object classification surveys.
Commenting on this major achievement Stephen Auld, MD of CodaOctopus Products said, "It is thanks to our Chinese customer's vision and the skills of our acoustic engineers that we have successfully delivered a ‘first of its kind' system, built upon our unique Echoscope technology."
Operating with the Calibrated Echoscope, an Octopus F180+ precision attitude and positioning system was included in the contract along with team membership, which provides the client with after sales service and technical support.

Hydrographic Survey for Riverbed Erosion |
U.S. Geological Survey were 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 analyzes 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.
