Amelia Earhart's Aircraft Search

  19/08/2010
The International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery (acronym TIGHAR, pronounced ‘tiger') foundation has organised several trips to Gardner Island, now Nikumaroro in the Republic of Kiribati based on the hypothesis that Amelia Earhart and Fred Noonan landed and eventually died on this remote Pacific island. For this purpose, OceanServer Technology recently loaned an Iver2 AUV outfitted with side-scan sonar to the organisation.


Iver-2 swimming in the lagoonThe Iver2 vehicle was operated by Seabotix to sweep large areas of the Nikumaroro Lagoon and collect side-scan sonar images. The AUV sonar data was used to identify geo-referenced targets of interest that could then be further investigated by an ROV.

Demo of RIEGL Airborne Bathy Scanner in Camcopter UAV

It's not an AUV but an UAV. So an unmanned vehicle, but in the air instead of underwater. This movie shows a demonstration of the bathymetric laser scanning capabilities of the RIEGL VQ-820-GU hydrographic airborne sensor in reality. For more information on the technical side, please see the news release on Hydro International.
