Company Information
Summary:
Sonardyne make underwater work. Navigating, positioning, communicating, imaging and measuring; at any depth, for any duration; from any platform – crewed or robotic; safely and responsibly.
Our innovations are helping transform how the industry works. Asset managers can remotely monitor the integrity of offshore structures; naval commanders can track, command and guide their robot fleets, and oceanographers can employ uncrewed vessels to gather data from unattended seafloor sensors. Many of our products also help our customers reduce their carbon emissions, mainly through the introduction of robotic platforms to replace carbon-heavy vessels.
One of our recent innovations, launched in April 2023, is our Origin ADCP family which represent the future of intelligent Acoustic Doppler Current Profiling technology. Simple to operate with class leading data, integrated communications and positioning, they are perfect for practically every marine operation.
It is the first ADCP to feature an integrated acoustic modem and advanced onboard Edge processing, giving remote access to all core features and providing high quality, intelligent data in near real-time. Origin is also compatible with our Ranger 2 USBL systems, already widely used across the marine industry.
Origin’s ability to link to other external sensors, and combine them with its own high-fidelity data formats, allows the customer to get the most out of a single deployment and the data generated.
Through investment in people, technology and footprint, we have built one of the most capable, dynamic and responsible businesses in the marine technology space.
PRODUCTS
From shallow to deep, our Fusion 2 Long BaseLine (LBL) and Ranger 2 Ultra-Short BaseLine (USBL) acoustic positioning systems set the benchmark for performance and reliability - helping to precisely navigate underwater vehicles, install subsea structures and position surface vessel in any water depth.
Inertial Navigation & Motion Sensing
With a track record spanning more than 10 years, our inertial navigation family has evolved to meet the needs of any subsea guidance and navigation application. Leading the way is SPRINT-Nav; an all-in-one subsea hybrid acoustic and inertial navigation system for ROVs and AUVs providing class-leading performance as good as a fraction of a metre over many kilometres travelled.
We have re-defined what is possible to achieve with high resolution imaging and detection sonars. Our Sentinel technology is helping to protect waterside facilities and vessels from the threat of underwater attack; Solstice enables autonomous underwater vehicles to gather pixel-perfect imaging of the seabed, whilst Sentry can monitor a billion cubic feet of water for the smallest hydrocarbon leak. Our latest generation Navigation, Obstacle Avoidance Sonar (NOAS) provides an aid to vessels navigating in uncertain waters, detecting potential grounding and collision hazards beneath the waves.
6G acoustic and BlueComm high speed optical communication systems can be used for the extraction of large amounts of stored data from long-endurance subsea sensors or even the transmission of high definition imagery and real-time video. The possibilities are vast, from our recent ground-breaking project with the Nekton Foundation to monitor endangered habitats infront of a live global television audience, to enabling autonomous surface vessels to harvesting large amounts of data from subsea vehicles without anyone stepping out of their office.
