Hydrographic Survey by David Goodfellow

EA 600 Sounder Upgraded

Kongsberg Simrad of Norway has upgraded its EA 600 single-beam echosounder for deepwater surveys over depths down to 11,000m, depending on transducer arrangements. The system now features a higher ping rate with accompanying better accuracy in addition to providing an advanced and synchronized passive mode for depth measurements using a pinger.

Optional built-in survey software also enables the sounder to operate as a complete survey system, including survey planning, navigation, data storage, and plotting of results.

No external survey computer is required. According to Kongsberg Simrad, the system can also be used for sidescan sonar operations.
