Posted: 21 March 2006
IXSEA, the industry leader specializing in navigational, subsea positioning and imagery systems and solutions, launched SHADOWS, its new Synthetic Aperture Sonar (SAS), at Oi06 in London.
SHADOWS, the first commercially available off-the-shelf Synthetic Aperture Sonar (SAS), is a quick and efficient high-performance sonar system with synthetic aperture processing, which offers unparalleled image quality in real-time with no gap at nadir boosting productivity.
SHADOWS doubles the resolution while reducing survey costs by one-third.
IXSEA’s CEO Thierry Gaiffe said that SHADOWS set a new industry standard for all sidescan sonar survey: “This turnkey integrated survey solution provides real-time, georeferenced mosaic output with 15 cm resolution over 600 m swath with no gap at nadir, therefore cutting survey time and costs.”
It is the perfect solution for all sidescan survey applications: cable route, offshore mining, pre-dredging survey, small objects search on the seabed and shipwreck search and salvage.
Moreover SHADOWS is compatible with GAPS and POSIDONIA, IXSEA’s USBL positioning systems.
SHADOWS includes SAS processing, Gap filler frontal sonar module, GPS interface and gigabit data link. It is indeed the full package with fish towing system, workstation, software, raw data storage and backup solutions.
