48 MTR November 2005 products Multibeam Bathymetry and Acoustic Imagery Fugro Pelagos, Inc. has made advances in the collection and processing of high-reso- lution acoustic bathymetry and imagery from Multibeam Echosounder Systems. Benefits of use include improved quality from Multibeam Acoustic Imagery (higher signal-to-noise ratio and higher resolution); precise geo-referencing of image pixels; and interactive web delivery of data and images. Vessel motion is applied to improve geo- encoding, and backscatter data is refracted, with backscatter from bad soundings dis- carded completely. The system features improved sounding accuracy and fully implemented Applanix TrueHeave.

The system's components include applications for data acquisition, sonar interface, real-time data processing, GIS for processed data display, and survey plan- ning/control. The modularity of the soft- ware enables expansion as survey capabili- ties grow. The system features include accurate logging of all data associated with a multibeam system (including beam amplitude, backscatter, etc), real-time cor- rection and filtering of bathymetry and line planning and control during survey.

Launched and controlled remotely from forward-deployed ships, RMS gives Carrier and Expeditionary Strike Groups an organ- ic, real-time, over-the-horizon mine recon- naissance capability. The unmanned, semi- submersible RMV tows a Variable Depth Sensor to detect, localize, classify and iden- tify moored and bottom mines. Other key elements of the system include line-of-sight and over-the-horizon real-time data links, a shipboard launch and recovery subsystem; and a software segment, which integrates AN/WLD-1(V)1 into the ship's AN/SQQ- 89(V)15 Undersea Warfare Combat System.

The model FC- 2 is designed specifically for long-standoff reconnaissance and surveillance applica- tions. Features include • Rugged, amphibious design, useable underwater and on land. Long-standoff shore reconnaissance from sea and diver insertion supported by free-flooded telephoto lens. Three night vision modes including on-demand night vision without an inten- sifier tube, and dual-stage night vision for extreme low light conditions. Multi-spectral imaging in NIR and UV regions defeats camouflage. High frame-rate, high-resolution motion imagery captures fleeting targets and minimizes operator exposure. Remote and autonomous operating modes minimize manpower requirements for target surveillance.
