Overview

The Echoscope PIPE^® NANO Gen Series forms part of our PIPE^® Sonar Series and is our latest innovation of the PIPE^® technology platform for real time 4D, 5D and 6D imaging (NANO Gen Series). Our latest NANO Gen Series takes another significant leap forward in this domain by dramatically reducing the form fact of the technology to be extremely compact (for illustration – a shade bigger than current smartphones in the market), without compromising on the unique and industry leading capabilities of the Echoscope^® family of sonars which has served as a key consolidated sensor for multiple underwater applications.

The NANO Gen Series features an ultra-compact form factor, making it ideal for integration with subsea robotics, small underwater manned and unmanned vehicles, and diving platforms.

As a cost-effective solution, the NANO Gen Series delivers the same uncompromising real-time 3D data as our market-leading Echoscope^® sonars. It significantly enhances subsea robotic operations with superior spatial awareness, high-resolution inspection capabilities, real-time seabed mapping, and continuous monitoring—transforming underwater mission effectiveness across a wide range of applications.

Echoscope PIPE^® NANO Gen Series Features

The Echoscope PIPE^® NANO Gen Series is designed on the back of the state-of-the-art Echoscope PIPE^®sonar technology and inherits many of the advanced capabilities delivered by this platform. At the core of the PIPE^®(Parallel Intelligent Processing Engine) system’s capability is the capacity to store the Full Time Series data acquired by the sonar array, and process it multiple times, and in multiple ways, either online in real-time or by offline reprocessing. This capability also gives unprecedented access to every value in the output dataset – more than 81 million points per ping.
