FLS for Survey
FarSounder’s Argos forward-looking sonars (FLS) have been integrated into the Qinsy survey software package. Argos sonar users are now able to display their FLS bathymetric data in the Qinsy platform along with other survey data. Quality Positioning Services B.V.
Underwater Imaging
Ivanoff-inspired LiquidOptics is a new feature for SubC’s smart cameras with water correction and a sapphire construction for durability and impact resistance. UltraOptics provides an ultrawide field of view. SubC Imaging.
ROV Management
The REVOLUTION NAV package provides the ability to monitor an ROV’s trail as it moves through the water on a Google Map while allowing waypoints to be set and data to be tracked over time. It also offers autonomous capabilities such as station-holding in current and altitude-holding, and will eventually pave the way to a hybrid autonomous vehicle with waypoint navigation capabilities. Deep Trekker Inc.
Software Update
SonarWiz 7.6.5 is now available, featuring: faster loading of side scan projects; improved color palette displays and options; new SEG-Y option to compute depth from fathometer and altitude; values to shaded relief sliders and other user interface enhancements; and improvements for handling Klein MAX-600 and Norbit WH sensors. Chesapeake Technology Inc.

Reservoir Analysis Software
RockProp combines mud log and drilling data with physical properties measured from cuttings to output reservoir parameters. It provides an assessment along vertical or horizontal wellbores that is independent of log models, which can be used to refine 2D and 3D reservoir models, improve geosteering, optimize completion designs and better characterize well potential. Cuttings Alliance.
Sonar Frequency Combo
Ideal for shallow-water USVs and UUVs, the 850- and 1,600-kHz dual-frequency combination provides high-resolution side scan sonar imagery and optional bathymetry at 850 kHz. EdgeTech.
Low-Drag Bionic AUV
PingGuin was developed as part of the MUM (Modifiable Underwater Mothership) collaborative R&D project. It is inspired by the hydrodynamic properties of a penguin’s body. EvoLogics GmbH.
