Kongsberg GeoAcoustics has upgraded PulSAR sidescan sonar with Chesapeake Technology’s SonarWiz mapping software.
The SonarWiz interface allows PulSAR users to acquire data from multiple sensors, process imagery in real time, generate art mosaics, create detailed contact reports, and produce outputs leveraging a wide range of formats, the company explained.
“We wanted to give our users a much broader range of capabilities for data acquisition, analysis, post processing, and reporting and the logical choice was SonarWiz,” said Bill Hone of Kongsberg GeoAcoustics. “While PulSAR was always designed for use in search and rescue operations, it now can be used effectively in a much broader set of mapping applications such as survey, hydrography and engineering.”
“PulSAR is an exciting new product from Kongsberg and I was really impressed with the resolution and the flexibility for users seeking quick deployments and superior survey performance,” said John Gann , engineering VP at Chesapeake Technology.
