Overview

The Echoscope^4G® Surface is our latest 3D sonar which offers our unique high resolution, real-time 3D imaging, and mapping in a lighter, smaller, and lower cost platform. The first product of our new fourth-generation technology, the Echoscope^4G Surface benefits from the latest in data and image processing hardware in a package that is 50 percent lighter, 40 percent smaller, and has a 30 percent lower power requirement.

While the Echoscope^4G® and Echoscope^4G® C500 are rated to 4,000 meters to serve the needs of ROVs, AUVs, and other similar vessels, the Echoscope^4G Surface enters a new, distinct market space for shallow water system operations, rated to a depth of 20 meters. This plug-and-play solution is built around our unique patented technology to generate a complete 3D model - composed of over 16,000 soundings from every acoustic transmission, refreshed up to 20 Hz.

The Echoscope^4G Surface series is offered in three distinct frequencies, 240/315/630 kHz, and can be configured to the customer's specific requirements. This flexibility enables the full range of Echoscope functions from ultra-high-resolution inspection to wide area mapping from a single lightweight and easy to deploy sensor.

The Echoscope^4G Surface uses the same proprietary technology to generate real-time 3D images and mapping as the larger Echoscope and is operated using the same familiar topsides CodaOctopus^® Underwater Survey Explorer (USE) and CodaOctopus^® Construction Monitoring Software (CMS) while remaining fully compatible with all our existing 3D hardware products and accessories such as dual and single axis rotators, power supply units, and mounting poles.

The benefits of this lighter, smaller Surface system are extensive for small operating platforms, making projects more efficient without compromising on image fidelity, performance, or capability. The Echoscope^4G Surface significantly increases the productivity of subsea projects that require the live monitoring of underwater operations, making it an ideal tool for breakwater construction, port security, marine construction, and underwater inspection tasks. By accurately visualizing the activity below the surface, this brand new innovation increases the efficiency of time-constrained projects as well as the safety of the teams that perform them.
