Scripps Chooses Hydrins08/06/2010 |
| The Scripps Institution of Oceanography, based in San Diego, California, USA, has chosen IXSEA technology for a key aspect of its marine survey activities. The Institute has fitted a Hydrins inertial navigation system (INS) to its research vessel Roger Revelle to provide information about the motion and position of the vessel when gathering multibeam sonar data. |
|
Based on fibre-optic fyroscope technology, Hydrins is a compact, high-performance INS that has been optimised for use in conjunction with multibeam echosounding equipment. Designed to cope effectively with GPS drop-outs and multipath effects, it delivers accurate position, attitude and velocity data in real time.

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.
