About
About Blueprint Subsea
Blueprint Subsea develops compact acoustic and navigation instruments for underwater vehicles, divers and survey teams. Its Oculus multibeam sonars provide imaging from short range to 200 metres in depth-rated housings, giving remotely operated and autonomous vehicles visibility for obstacle avoidance, inspection and target identification.
The wider range includes StarFish towed side-scan sonar for shallow-water surveys, SeaTrac USBL equipment for tracking and communicating with subsea assets, and Artemis diver-navigation systems. Products combine acoustic hardware with topside interfaces and software for live visualisation, recording and georeferencing. Applications span hydrographic survey, search and recovery, infrastructure inspection, research and defence.

AION Group was formed around Blueprint Subsea and SUEX underwater systems businesses. The group combined sonar, navigation, and underwater mobility capabilities. Blueprint Subsea continued to serve subsea robotics and ROV sensing markets.
Source - 2025-01-09 - Capability - Blueye integrates Blueprint Subsea Oculus multibeam sonar with X3 ROV
Blueye published a January 9, 2025 integration article for Oculus multibeam sonar on the Blueye X3 ROV. The article describes Blueprint Subsea Oculus sonar as a high-end sensor integrated mechanically and in the Blueye App. The integration gives Blueprint Subsea a concrete ROV platform reference for low-visibility navigation and underwater inspection.
