Next-generation AUV for Water Quality Solutions

OceanServer Technology, Canada, has announced the continuation of its successful 10-year partnership with YSI, launching the next-generation EcoMapper. The i3XO EcoMapper AUV is based on the Iver3-580 AUV platform and takes advantage of YSI’s expertise in water quality solutions. The i3XO AUV utilises the EXO water quality system to provide users high-resolution water quality data, sidescan sonar imaging, downward-looking current profiling and an option for bathymetric surveying.

Used by government agencies, military, universities, contractors and private organisations, the versatility of the i3XO system delivers a wide range of simultaneous monitoring capabilities. The EXO design provides EcoMapper customers up to 8 water quality parameters (via 4 sensor ports). The 100-metre Iver3 based EcoMapper will benefit from extended bottom lock range (up to 80 metres), forward-looking object avoidance, swappable battery section along with new chirp-based sonar systems. Shipments for the system have already started.
