Partnership to enhance shallow water survey
ASV Ltd and Marine Electronics Ltd have formed a new working partnership agreement under which ASV will provide its C-CAT 2 autonomous surface vehicle for use with the advanced new 3D interferometric sonar by Marine Electronics Ltd.
The new WideView sonar has been developed to provide a 120° field of view which makes it suitable for use with shallow water surveys. By reducing the number of passes required to scan a survey area, the new sonar is ideal for difficult shallow water operations. It enables a survey team to gain an important benefit when tide and weather conditions may reduce the working time available.
The 2.4m C-CAT 2 is seen as a suitable vehicle for the new sonar as its robust performance and design enables it to provide access to waters that would be too difficult or dangerous for a manned survey craft. For further information visit: www.asvglobal.com
