The 20-in. printers will be integrated into Atlas' naval submarine sonar systems, according to a spokesman. Octopus 120 series and 200 series gray-scale printers have a proven track record and are widely used in geophysical survey and defense applications. They produce continuous images onto thermal paper or film for hardcopy output of both side-scan and seismic geophysi- cal data and other continuous data.

Dr. Victor Svet, Doctor of Science (Phys.-Math.), a specialist in applied acoustics, has joined Oceanscan as Head of Research & Development. Dr. Svet graduated from the Department of Radio Systems of Moscow Electro-Technical Institute of Communication and was subsequently offered a permanent position at the Acoustics Institute where he has been working for more than 38 years on problems related to the reception and processing of acoustic signals. His first research projects were concerned with study- ing non-linear correlations in acoustic signals and noise generated by high- power mechanisms with rotary units, the outcome of this theory being new efficient methods for the acoustic remote sensing of aircraft engines and turbines. Further research projects were concerned with the develop- ment and application of the ideas and methods of coherent optics and holography for space-time signal pro- cessing in underwater acoustic obser- vation systems. Oceanscan also announced the appointment of Donald Sandilands MSc, as Manager of Research & Development. Sandilands has been working in the subsea industry for 20 years since graduating from Heriot Watt University. Initially working in Aberdeen as an Electrical Engineer designing ROV's and intervention tooling systems, he has spent the last 10 years with Perry Slingsby Systems in Jupiter, Fla.,, as a Senior Electrical Engineer, the last five years of which as Electrical Engineering Group Leader with responsibility for the development of the electrical systems on a wide range of remotely operated vehicles. Manel Monteiro, Director of Sales & Marketing at Oceanscan said, "Oceanscan will be the first company to introduce an underwater acoustic laboratory in Aberdeen. The appoint- ment of Dr Svet and Donald Sandilands is a major contribution to our commitment to ongoing research and development in underwater acoustic technology. Both under- stand Oceanscan's aims and believe that Oceanscan is at the forefront of sonar technology."
