About Marine Technology
Marine Technology integrates survey equipment with the practical handling of an uncrewed vessel. On HydroDron, an automatically folding mast protects navigation sensors during transport, a powered mechanism raises and lowers the sonar head, and a windlass deploys the sound-velocity profiler. The craft can reach a site by trailer or aboard a larger vessel.
A shore setup separates navigation, close-range manoeuvring and hydrographic work across dedicated consoles. Survey planning and data processing use HYPACK MAX with HYSWEEP, while onboard industrial computers record multibeam and LiDAR data. Navigation and equipment-status information is transmitted to shore. This arrangement connects mission planning, physical sensor deployment, vessel supervision and production of the final survey output.
