Small vessel and USV optimised survey software

Danish hydrographic survey specialist company EIVA has released a new entry-level version of its popular hydrographic survey software.

EIVA’s NaviSuite Kuda Core promises advanced hydrographic survey software capabilities at an entry-level pric

A new NaviSuite Kuda Core software variant provides advanced hydrographic survey software capabilities tailored to support hydrographic surveys using a single USV or small survey vessel using multi-beam echosounder (including backscatter), LiDAR and/or camera.

EIVA claims this software solution is simple to configure and run, affordable for entry-level survey professionals and provides advanced hydrographic survey features from NaviSuite Kuda software.

Software features for automated, efficient hydrographic surveys

Users can improve the efficiency of their surveys with software tools for remote operations, including autopilot route planning and onboard processing; real-time optimisation of survey area coverage and automatic data cleaning. Additionally the system can support automatic data processing workflows, patch testing for multi-beam calibration and offers easy registration and classification of observations.

In addition to the new entry-level variant, the list of bundle variants includes NaviSuite Kuda Pro, which supports more complex survey spreads at a reduced price, and + Processing variants, which provide advanced data processing tools. Since these variants are all part of one big NaviSuite family, users can upgrade between different variants if they scale up operations. Meaning it’s possible to go from a single vessel setup to a large network installation – without changing software.

The new entry level software variant has been attractively priced at €1,998 annually.
