Teledyne Completes Acquisition of Reson

Teledyne Technologies has completed the acquisition of Reson A/S. Reson, headquartered in Slangerup, Denmark, provides high-resolution marine acoustic imaging and measurement solutions. The acquired company will operate under the name of Teledyne Reson. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

With over 30 years of experience and approximately 1,400 Reson echosounders sold worldwide, Reson is a provider of multibeam sonar systems and specialty acoustic sensors for hydrography, global marine infrastructure and offshore energy operations. Reson’s multibeam sonar systems range from portable high‐resolution shallow water systems used on autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) to full ocean depth vessel mounted oceanographic systems.

Reson is Teledyne’s thirteenth acquisition of the marine instrumentation group, which provides sonar systems, acoustic sensors and communication devices, harsh environment interconnects, and complete autonomous underwater vehicles. With the addition of Reson, after BlueView and Optech last year, Teledyne now offers 3D marine imaging systems for use from aircraft, fixed platforms, surface vessels and AUVs over a wide range of distances and water depths. The company is also working to integrate terrestrial and marine imagery, as well as enhance the ability to deliver, in addition to an image, specific information about objects, the land and seafloor, and the water column.
