SonarWiz Supports NOAA Survey Guidelines

Chesapeake Technology Inc. (CTI) has added new features to its SonarWiz to support the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) survey guidelines. The two areas of specific compliance SonarWiz is emphasising with this release are: creating a set of contacts (targets) with NOAA contact naming convention, and presenting sonar imagery with a range-restriction when towfish altitude drops below 8% of sonar range.

This capability simplifies the survey operation for collecting data to meet the NOAA survey guidelines, reducing processing time and contact archiving and reporting. For NOAA and survey companies doing NOAA survey work, the software is focused on the NOAA survey guidelines, simplifying the task of adhering to the guidelines to generate the required deliverables. This will save both time and costs.
